Not the XG. Standard model. Sold under the Nuvico name and the Vitek name. I don't know where you are located but the biggest Nuvico and Vitek distributor in the CA area is VSSI. Here are some links.

The Nuvico/Vitek lower cost units use Wavelet compression and although they are of high quality the compression is less than MPEG4. Wavelet is typically 15kb and MPEG4 is around 5. Both the standard and XG are good quality. The XG offers far faster recording speeds and more sophistication in menu options. Unless you need ultra high speed recording and many more bells and whistles you probably will find the Nuvico/Vitek to be acceptable for most stituations. Here is a list of the Vitek distributors around the country. I'm not sure who is carrying Nuvico. Vitek is also offering a free external CD/RW with the purchase of their DVR during the month of Dec & Jan. Not all distributors are aware of it yet so you should contact the factory first if you decide on ordering one. I don't think Nuvico is making the same offer.

thanks for the info, much appreciated.How does the recording speed affect the playback quality of the picture? l am new to the forum but l have learned a lot from you guys,so this might seem like a silly sort of newbie question!!!

Recording speed does not affect quality of picture, only the number of frames you can capture per second. The more frames per second the smoother the playback motion, but the downside is you use up a lot more hard drive space.
