I am sure I read somewhere that it is not a good idea to record foreign films with subtitles on HDD recorders - can't remember why.
Is this true or am I bonkers?
As I have discovered, it is almost impossible to buy a recorder now that can record a disc on.

Yeah, you get something like disc burn with the subs, similar to screen burn on a monitor.
:-D Joking by the way, there is no reason why there should be an issue.0 -

Thanks, that's really funny because I told my husband a couple of years ago to make sure he only records subtitled films onto a disc because he could damage the hard drive:)

I don't know, my previous PVR was fine until I got it to record a load of French subtitled movies.
Afterwards, any time I asked it to record anything, it just went 'pft' and ignored me.0
