Randy Savicky http://www.strategypluscommunications.com Blu-ray disc recorder and a VHS video tape machine may seem unlikely bedfellows, but that hasn't stopped Panasonic from wrapping them up together in the same bopanasonic-dmrbr630v.jpgx for the DMR-BR630V.

The 630V can write at six times speed, has digital and analog tuners, new second-gen MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 encoder chips as well as all the standard HDMI and analog connections and Panasonic's Viera link for device interconnectivity. It also records to DVD.

And there's even a 320GB hard drive inside, capable of recording video and later letting you dub it.  

Gizmodo has a bit more and so does Electronic House.  ]]>
