Featuring a 500GB hard disk drive for editing and duplicating, the deck can record internally or direct-to-Blu-ray / DVD from various inputs, even from live signals. A comprehensive set of connections, including HD-SDI, provide compatibility with most media sources, like high-end cameras and switchers.
The unit records in HD but downscales and burns to DVD in SD. Discs can be authored in BDMV (true Blu-ray authoring) or BDAV disc formats, with menus and with auto-start or repeat playback options. Multiple copies of each recording can easily be made via a built-in duplication function. The deck stores up to 24 hours of HD using dual-layer 50GB discs in AE mode and supports both BD-R and erasable BD-RE Blu-ray discs. The supported video formats supported are: MPEG2TS, MPEG2PS, and H.264 AVC; and the supported audio formats are: Dolby Digital and LPCM.

This is the worst piece of equipment I have ever purchased. The SR HD2500 you cannot "PAUSE" during recording. How can you build a recorder and NOT have the pause function operational. Don't buy it...buy mine. I will sell it to you for a good deal.

It's definitely overpriced. The machine can't do too much meaningful work, and the recording it makes is even not as good as a much cheaper DVD recorder like Philips 3576 does.

The specs on this product look fantastic. Blu-ray recording, plenty of inputs and outputs and supporting many formats. Just on the specs alone you would think it deserves a 5. BUT the menus are completely incomprehensible; there are too many caveats as to which inputs can be recorded to which supported formats; the unit will transcode from one format to another but not consistently. We had to call JVC several times to find out what was supported. Since we are using it in a corporate production environment, it is very important that it be fully compatible with all recording standards including those applicable to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. It was a complete surprise that the unit did not support recording a closed-caption signal in any format. This makes it completely useless for our authoring efforts. We had to go back to our old HD/DVD recorders made by Sony and Pioneer in order to comply with the law!! Considering returning this unit.
