I use a Panasonic DMR E-20 set-top DVD recorder. I set
the recording to XP/EP/SP or LP and, press play on
the TiVo press record on the recorder.

Cheers, -- Erica
p.s. The quality is iffy, but quite suitable for Angel/Buffy/Farscape eps.

Unfortunately, I'm not ready to move into the realm of a set-top DVD 
recorder.  I was hoping it was possible to capture a 2-3 hour movie 
onto my iMac, then use iMovie and iDVD or Toast 6 to cram these 
movies onto a single 4.7GB DVD (I have both internal & external 
SuperDrives available to me).

Anyone have experience using a similar approach?
