camcorder hdd vs dvd
Mac Mini vs. Sony DVD/HDD DVR?
I’m contemplating between Mac Mini or Sony DVR for to be connected for to TV. The main purpose: store my camcorder videos, my photos and some TV recording. I also have a windows PC with wifi at home.
Sony DVD can do all plus DVD burning and 160G HDD, but I don’t like the way to do the video transfer. I like it that I can copy some of the DVD into the HDD.
I think mac mini may be a good idea, but I heard lacking the capability to record TV. I have a satellite TV receiver to connect.
Appreciate any views.
Honestly, if you want to record TV, then don’t go with the mac. I’m sorry to say it (I use macs all the time) but they don’t, as far as I know, record TV. For everything else they are great. If you are going to be doing DVR stuff (like recording TV shows) then you should get a dedicated DVR. Pretty much everywhere that does TV will have a version of one.
Basically, it will be a trade off for you. The Mac would be better for storing videos and pictures, but it won’t record TV. The Sony sounds like the one you should probably get.
