Digital camera reviews of Samsung DVD-VR375 1080p Up-Converting VHS Combo DVD Recorder

Digital camera Review: Piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars

am 55 yrs. old and I am a digital photographer. I bought this Samsung VR357 to put VHS movies onto DVD, both single and dual layer. Out of all the software, cameras, recorders, etc. I have ever bought in my life this is the worst piece of junk I have ever owned and the problems were right out of the box. I have had the following problems:

*Dual Layer disc fails to intialize properly - disc in the garbage.
*Dual Layer disc fails to finalize properly - disc in the garbage and hours of recording utterly wasted.
*Recording stops in the middle of recording, the machine shuts off - disc in the garbage and hours of recording time wasted.
*Recording stops in the middle, machine stays on, disc won't update info - disc in the garbage - hours of recording wasted.
*Fails to recognize VHS tapes - you get sound and no picture - fiddling around eventually brings it back - more time wasted.
*Regular DVD-R fails to finalize - more recording time wasted.

Buy this junk at your own risk. I was so frustrated I almost took a hammer to it. How Samsung can put out this garbage is utterly beyond me. If they read this they owe me a full refund. I won't hold my breath waiting. You can pick up this $175 machine used on Ebay for $30 which tells what others think of it as well.

New news 1 week later:

Now it won't record onto a new batch of Memorex DVD-R's I bought at all whereas before it did that pretty well. The new batch of DVD+R DL mostly work but today I tried to record VHS to DVD 3 times and the machine stopped recording and shut off at various times - more DVD's in the garbage and time wasted. The 4th DVD failed to intialize properly and now I'm trying to record that same VHS tape onto DVD for the 5th time as I write this; I'm burning incense and chanting to help.

Samsung should issue a recall on this one. Their HQ never responded to my email.
