Comments about Tascam BD-R2000 Rackmount High-Definition Blu-Ray/DVD Recorder:
This product is an overpriced piece of junk.
We purchased this product to use in a professional environment to play both Blu-Ray discs and to playback digital video media (live event shows).
The digital video files (and we tried nearly every conceivable format) just would not play or even show up. The unit wouldn't even acknowledge that there were files (besides pictures) on the SD Card or USB Drive.
Furthermore, Tascam was unable to help us when we called multiple times to ask for support.
Buyer beware - this unit does not perform as indicated and certainly is not worth the money.

Comments about Tascam BD-R2000 Rackmount High-Definition Blu-Ray/DVD Recorder:
too strong of copy protection on both sd and bd make this unit useless. cant record hd through firewire except from camcorder. every functions are very slow. editing is like joke. basicly you can not use this unit as bluray recorder to capture hdtv of any sort. too bad. no recording timer!!! no chase play!!! this unit is very inconvenient to use. you actually have to press record manually on time like first generation vhs from 80s. for what it is, it is way over priced. it should be sold for less than [$]. i'm looking forward to see panasonic bringing in their deega line soon.
