DVD recorder questions

Hey, all.

I'm thinking of buying a DVD recorder. Had a couple of questions, tho.

First, one of the best things about the DVD is the ability to go from anywhere to anywhere else in the program instantly. Do any of the DVD recorders have a "chapter index point insert" button? (for lack of a better term.) Such a button would allow you to tap it during the record process to insert chapters seamlessly into the recording, allowing you to find a particular part of the recording quickly. And, if there is such a recorder with the feature, is it cross-compatible with standard DVD players? I know that DVD recorders add a chapter whenever you stop recording & start it back up, but to do that in the middle of a program wouldn't be seamless.

Also, are DVD recorders reliable? I've known a couple of people who've had them break down shortly after buying them new. They were Cyberhome & another bargain brandname. Don't know if that makes a difference. I'd like to spend as little as possible & still get a good machine.

Many thanks...
Bobbo :-)
