Now that Apple has whetted the public's appetite for portable
video players, with its iPod with video, demand for portable
recording features is picking up. After all, why should you ha
ve to pay Apple to download an episode of Lost on iTunes when
there are devices on the market that let you record it directly
from your PC or TV?
These new portable video recorders (PVRs) may not be as
well-known as the iPod, but they offer a lot more functionality.
Just connect them to your PC or TV and you can record the
latest episode of The Office and watch it, well, on your way in to the
office. PVRs can also serve as MP3 players, electronic photo albums,
choice recorders, and more.
Of course, the portable video recorder market isn't new. Companies
like Archos have been building small, flexible recording devices, with
built-in screens and large hard drives, for years.
Now, however, a slew of vendors have entered the fray, including
Cowon Systems and Datexx. Eventually, Apple will probably offer a
video-recording version of the iPod, but until then, the PVR market
is wide open.
We recently tested three PVRs in the Labs and found that the
quality of the video playback and media management features vary
greatly among products. Which is the right PVR for you?
Read up on your choices by clicking on the links below and see the
products side by side in our comparison table.
In This Roundup:
Archos AV 500With a sleek brushed-aluminum casing, a slim profile, and a very sharp
4-inch widescreen LCD, the AV 500 is definitely set to impress. Its audio capabilities are
music to our ears, but the real value lies in its video recording and playback features,
which are the best in its class.
Cowon A2The Cowon A2's video and audio playback capabilities are good, the design is
attractive, and the interface is fairly easy to use, but we're a bit disappointed in what
we feel is the device's main feature: video recording. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1902278,00.asp
Datexx Pavio PVR30TGood photo capabilities and a low price make the Pavio PVR30T an
interesting option, but poor video-quality will limit its appeal. Overall, the device lacks
the polish needed to satisfy discriminating consumers.
