I have read that editing is very basic, would that be true?

Are the typical menus ok? I dont expect anything fancy, but would hope that
they are functional, and not too basic

I assume that I could set chapters?

Thanks to all

Tony

I have one of the Panasonic DVD recorders with a built in Hard drive.
You can remove sections from the recordings (slop at the front and back, as
well as ad breaks)
You can also split clips into multiple segments, but you can't glue them
together.
The edits are not anywhere near frame accurate (within 1 second)

They allow you to select titles, but are pretty ugly (at least on my unit)

My unit doesn't allow chapter setting. I think it puts in iy's own every 5
seconds)
