Noah Kadner reviews the new professional grade Pioneer DVD Recorder in great detail. If you are interested in recording and creating DVDs you should read on.

Snippet from the Pioneer PRV-LX1 Review:
"Another impressive feature that sets the LX1 apart is the included 120 GB hard drive. You have the option to record directly to DVD-R or RW. You can also record to the hard drive. This opens up a world of possibilities. Unlike the previous VCR-style DVD recorders, you can actually do some rudimentary authoring by using the hard drive recorder. You can create a disc with several tracks, each with as many chapters as you want. The LX1 will set chapters automatically at preset intervals, or you can shuttle through the clips and set chapters at will. You can also set chapters on-the-fly as you record by pressing a button."
