Well, I've finally decided to (try to) join the 21st century and start
recording TV shows (for timeslip) to DVD rather than VHS.

I'm using a Panasonic DMR ES40V. It should record 2 hours in SP mode
and 4 hours in LP mode etc.

The first time I tried to record 2 programs of 1 hour each in SP mode,
it recorded the first and put an "!" in the status field on the
schedule screen for the second. The next time I tried 4 programs: 3
in LP, and 1 in EP. It recorded the first two but not the last two
and once again put an "!" in the status field on the schedule
screen. Even if the disk really isn't 2 (SP) / 4 (LP) hours long, I
would have thought the second try should have worked or at least
recorded 3 programs. IIIRC, I'm using Memorex 16x DVD-R if it makes
any difference. (They work find in the computers burners I have.)

Anyone have any ideas?

used it for dubbing, but if you don't get an answer here you could try

You could also consider taking a look at avforums, but I think you
have to join to post there.
