Deck suggestion for PAL/NTSC

I'm looking for options to capture and write PAL/NTSC MiniDVD and DVCAM. I'm pretty sure the DSR-11 does that, but is there anything else in that price range that someone would recommend?

nope. in that price range and for that qualty - thats pretty much THE CHOICE.

Thanks - what would you suggest as a step up from that? From what I could find the price difference really jumps.

from what ive seen on a pro/semi pro level the next level up is the dsr 20/25/40/45 but those are about a double jump in price to start. and im not sure those will do pal.

the dsr11 is a great choice for the money. and the only things negative about it are the cover door tends to break off and i personally am used to having timecode display ON the deck (but im a whiney bitch) - other than that, the dsr11 is a fine, fine choice

i just picked up a used fully loaded (firewire, analog, SDI) dsr1500 on ebay for $2500 and i couldnt be any happier...

There is a JVC DVCAM deck that does all that is similiar to the DSR-11 and costs about the same. DOn't know the model number, just worked with it twice.

JVC BR-DV6000 Does PAL/NTSC switchable...record and playback - also plays back large DVCAM cassetts....we've used for the last few years - Flawless (has built in LCD monitor with audio and other information overlay....able to do DV Tape cloning (timecode too) It's been flawless...Highly recommend

DSR-25 does PAL and NTSC - nicer deck than the 11, but more pricey.
