DVD recorders are becoming extremely common today as their price continues to decline. When purchasing a DVD recorder you will be faced with the difficult decision of choosing which DVD recorder best suites your needs. This can be a difficult decision to make, however, I will do my best to help you determine some of the key factors to look at when purchasing a DVD recorder. I will be comparing many of these key factors to the Samsung SH-183M DVD recorder as I generally like to use an example when possible.

I have come up with a list of five main things to look at when purchasing a DVD recorder:

1. Speed

2. Buffer Under Run Technology

3. Price

4. Brand

5. Light-Scribe

1. Speed - One of the most important factors when shopping for a DVD recorder. DVD's range up to 9 Giga-Bytes(GB) and the speed of a DVD recorder is enough to make or break a purchase. With sizes up to 9GB it may take hours to completely burn a DVD with a slow recorder. The Samsung SH-183M does quite well in this category with its 18x burning speed - It sure burns those DVD's fast.

2. Buffer Under Run Technology - Another major factor to look at when looking to buy a DVD recorder. Buffer Under Run Technology can save you time and money since it keeps DVD's from being destroyed while burning. This process works by telling the recorder that a section wasn't recorded and to re-record it during the process instead of stopping and ruining the DVD when it detects the error. The Samsung SH-183M has a special technology that not only does this but increases the life of the DVD recorder.

3. Price - As with anything, price is an important factor when shopping for a DVD recorder. DVD recorders can vary widely in price ranging anywhere from $40.00 to $200.00 or more. It is always important to find a reliable store that sells gifts for cheap. The Samsung SH-183M fits great into this category coming in at only $50.15 at Ship and Drop.

4. Brand - A good brand of DVD recorder is important to look for when purchasing. There are many "no-name" recorders out at reasonable prices. Some of them are good and some of them will stop working within a month or so as I have come to experience. - Going back to the Samsung SH-183-M, Samsung is a big company with a big name. You can be fairly certain that it won't break down on you.

5. Light-Scribe - Light-Scribe is not a mandatory thing for your DVD recorder, however, if you burn a lot of DVD's or CD's it will save you time from creating labels and make your DVD's look nice. The Samsung SH-183-M supports light-scribe.

I hope this article has been useful to you as you are looking forward to purchasing a DVD recorder. I would definitely recommend the SH-183M DVD recorder from Samsung if your looking for a great recorder at a reasonable price.
