Digital camera reviews of Sony VRDMC5 DVDirect DVD Recorder
Digital camera Review: Quick, Easy, Reliable
Summary: 4 Stars
The DVDirect recorder takes the pain out of digital video archiving. I got it to use at work for capturing digital video from surveillance systems that don't have better methods of archiving through the S-video connection. This is great for that or to save portions of old VHS tapes that have family events. Every iteration of video should be saved to a new form of storage media every 5 years. This device makes it quick, easy and reliable.
Summary of Sony VRDMC5 DVDirect DVD Recorder
Sony's newly re-styled DVDirect? DVD recorder, the VRD-MC5, allows home video and digital photos to be recorded to DVD without a PC. The VRD-MC5 can be connected to virtually any camcorder, VCR, even Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) for direct recording of video to standard DVDs playable on most consumer DVD players. The MC5 also incorporates memory card slots for the 5 popular camera memory card types and will directly record images from the memory card to DVD as a playable slideshow or just for photo storage. The built in 2.5" color LCD screen makes it easy to preview video or view up to 6 digital pictures at a time. The VRD-MC5 thrusts DVDirect into the high definition world by supporting transfer of AVCHD video to DVD. AVCHD is a high definition camcorder format supported by some Sony Handycam camcorders. For example, high definition AVCHD video can be transferred from Sony hard disk or Memory Stick based Handycam camcorders to DVD in native 1080i resolution and played back on most Blu-ray DiscT players /recorders and other compatible devices. The VRD-MC5 can also transfer video from Sony standard definition and AVCHD HDD/MemoryStick Handycam camcorders at up to 6X speed, which translates to 1 hour of video recorded in about 10 minutes. Record all the video to DVD from Sony HDD/MemoryStick Handycam camcorders, just selected scenes, even just the video shot since the last DVD burn. Full support for 4:3 full screen or 16:9 wide screen video and Dolby? Digital 5.1 surround sound.Cameras and Photo
