These are ONLY DV will not do HD in my HVR-HD1000N, even though they say HDV on the cassette. As soon as I attempt to record in HDV 1080i it instantly tells me it changed to DV mode which I believe is 480. Such a let down.

I have not been able to record any data on these disk. I always receive a bad disk message.

EPI failure.  I purchased two of these and neither had video outputs on any format.  When I brought another brand and inserted into my setup they worked fine.
Anran, for a short time, had me thinking my monitor or HDD was bad because both DVRs had the same exact failure.

As with the Toshiba Portable SD P2900SN, the claim that it plays MP4 is
only true for Divx flavor.  Your other MP4 tracks from internet TV will not play-Otherwise looks to be the usual fine Philips product.  Started not playing DVD-R (which other players easily played) after about a month: WOULD ONLY GIVE IT ONE STAR NOW.

I bought this brand based on other reviews in hopes that it would improve my HD signal from Comcast.  However, the Comcast HD signal is just plain inferior and this cord did not help.  It is a high quality cord none the less.

I bought a stack of these and every one failed to burn.  I then went and bought some Verbatim dvd dl r and FIRST TIME it burns perfect.  This was on a MacBook Pro.

These cables have extremely high resistance and are terrible for use with an analog cable signal. If you are just looking to use it to transmit digital (HD) signals they might work, but I would advise against anyone buying them. For analog signals the high resistance completely degrades the signal and makes your picture quality terrible. Spend a few more dollars, buy something better.

Have had two WD red disks show up DOA.  Obviously this can happen with any disk from any manufacturer, but I'll skip the red series from now on.

Worth noting that although this mostly looks like the same plug used on the HD series, it doesn't work.  HD uses TRRS (4 section) for the heaphone side connector, this only has TRS (3 section) so you only get mono sound.

I also bought this unit to archive video from my new hidef camcorder.  Since it won't handle HD, it's just another external hard drive with somewhat buggy software.  Oh well, back to the return bin.

I bought a pair of these adapters since I already have a two 16GB SDHC (Class 6) cards and two 32GB (Class 10) SDHC cards. I figured I could use the cards in my Canon 7D for shooting HD video but I was wrong.

The throughput is not fast enough to keep up with the high data rate of the Canon 7D when writing to the card, even my Transcend Class 10 SDHC card would fail when shooting HD video. The Class 10 and Class 6 cards work fine straight in a 60D but choke via the adapter in an HDSLR. There's a bottleneck in the adapter somewhere. I normally use 133X CF cards in my 7D with no problems.

When shooting still images the adapters work fine and feel solidly made.

If you're just going to shoot still images and your camera takes a CF Type II card go for it. But if you're going to try and shoot HD video forget it, just buy a fast CF card.

3 stars for lack of clarity for compatible models. These are for thr DT-1000-110v and NOT the DT-1000-12v.

I got this as a backup in case one of our better SDI to HDMI Converters went down. I tried it with 720P, 1080i, and 1080p. Device would turn on but not convert/transmit signal. I was out of town for a bit and missed my window to return it and now I have a useless brick. Maybe you will have better luck. Not too mad, you get what you pay for. If you have the extra money get a Decimator Sdi<>HDMI cross convertor. They are bulletproof, but they are also $295. Hope this helps.

Try finding DVD+RW in the stores these days.  Very difficult.  The RW function means they are re-writable and can be recorded on and erased quite a few times.  My DVR is a Magnavox ZC352MW and these are compatible with it.

I have a H/P dv-7 4283cl and my blue ray player would not play any blue ray movies at all.  I did a lot of research to see if there was an update to the original software but there was none.  Least I could not find any.  I could watch regular dvd's but that was it.  I down loaded Power DVD 12 Ultra and did the update.  Put a blue ray movie in and it works great.  I deleted the original program that came with my dv-7.  Thanks AMAZON
