HD DVD backer Toshiba has unveiled a digital video recorder (DVR) that can archive HD 
broadcasts onto standard DVD discs.
The Vardia RD-A301 uses an HD transcoder to convert HD broadcasts from their native MPEG 2 format into MPEG 4 AVC. Toshiba claims its transcoder compresses the HD video enough for it to be burnt onto a 4.7GB DVD-R – whilst retaining the broadcast picture quality.
