Quick Take: The RDR-GX330 is a DVD recorder from Sony. It
features a FireWire port and the ability to chase playback, which means you can start watching a recorded DVD at the beginning while it's still recording. The Sony RDR-GX330 ($230 list) will be available in April. For a list of the top DVD recorders we've reviewed, click here.
