Hands-on the new Blu-Ray DVD recorder DMR-BW900 from Panasonic

During the last CEATEC, we had the chance to discover a new line-up of Blu-Ray Recorders with internal HDD, like the DMR-BW900 and its 1TB of hard drive space… And today finally, Panasonic gave us the chance get a closer look at these new babies and play with them… the New Line-up of Diga Blu-Ray recorder… and not the amazingly cute girls who helped us to enjoy these new amazing recorders.

There will be in fact 6 new models, with 3 DVD recorders, and 3 Blu-Ray ones… we will not waste our time with slightly old DVD models, but will focus our attention on the Blu-ray wonders.
In a nutshell, our new recorders will support and record natively any video in MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 in Full HD, and they will also be compatible with the Viera Link system from Panasonic (which allows you to control all your Panasonic devices with only one remote). Not much to say, except that the quality is pretty great, compared to the Mpeg-2 TS that most recorders have been using up to now (The MPEG-4 AVC / H.264, is the codec used on Blu-Ray movies).
