The editors didn't like
Users must supply their own flash cards (Compact Flash or Memory Stick) for recordings
Plus a device to transfer the cards’ contents to their computers and iTunes. Videos aren’t up to iTunes Music Store levels of quality
Especially when...
Limited to support for composite video (mediocre video quality)
Cluttered and poorly laid out remote control
Cluttered display and nonintuitive menus
No signal passthru
Still no way to attach a hard disk (but CF microdrives now work)
Encode quality passable but not great
Clumsy interface
IPod encoding requires Compact Flash or Memory Stick Duo card and memory-card reader for transferring media to your Mac.
Neuros' MPEG 4 Recorder was a great product for getting movies and TV shows onto a PDA, and the Recorder 2, with its more widely supported video and audio codecs, PSP-friendly encoding settings, and near-DVD quality TV recording, is a big step forward...
