The RAM dvd disk is the ONLY dvd format that will record an HD picture full screen. I recently bought a dvd recorder with a digital recorder to replace my old VCR. If you use any other format disk, any HD program you record will NOT be recorded full screen on the disk, only show about 3/4 screen when in playback.
The Toshiba models are well supported by Isobuster. You need the Isobuster software to scan the Toshiba RD-XS32 drive for video and to extract it to a PC or Mac. Isobuster is a licensed product, and will run in demo mode to scan a drive and show you if it can see video on a drive before it is licensed.
