Where to go
Chip-maker LSI has come
up with a Christmas buying guide to DVD recorders. Our guess, though
- and LSI will doubtless shoot us down if we're wrong
- is that the guide doesn't give the sort
of impartial advice would-be buyers really need but,
instead, is a
novel promotional tool, for the company and the
consumer electronics firms that incorporate its
integrated circuits.
The guide does contain a few useful thoughts and the only real
screamer we noticed (perhaps you'll see others) was this line,
IEEE-1394 is the standard
interface on digital camcorders and provides
the highest quality when transferring camcorder video to DVDs
This statement suggests to us that whoever wrote the guide didn't know
about uptake of DVD-based camcorders or that these
models generally use USB. Either that or these facts
were just a little too inconvenient to mention.
Whatever the case, the guide -
TOP DVD TIPS FOR A VERY MERRY
CHRISTMAS - can be read over on page two.
However, the real reason for telling you about it is to pose
two questions:
* What hi-tech goodies are
you thinking of treating yourself (or someone else) to at Christmas?
* How can we help you make the right decisions?
Tell us what you need to know over in
this
thread in the
HEXUS.lifestyle.news forum and - between HEXUS.lifestyle and
our hugely-knowledgeable forum members -
we'll surely be able to give you the advice you need.
See you
over there!
