Rating:  - Love this Item.
By Nancy Goss ()
I absolutely love this item. Although I read reviews about the products I purchase, I never write but I feel the need to write about how great this is. We have hours and hours of video of our kids I wanted to put on DVD. I tried a computer program that was crap (which I should have read reviews on before purchasing on a whim at Wal-Mart). I have tried copying through a DVD recorder but I could only play the DVDs back on that machine. This unit is terrific. Very easy to use and I have put 12 hours of video on DVD so far. My kids are watching DVDs of themselves they haven\'t seen in years. We are all laughing until we hurt and loving every minute. I\'m not doing anything fancy, just manual copying from video to DVD. I\'m not editing or anything. I didn\'t want to get to a point where I didn\'t have any equipment to watch my old videos. I just wanted DVD copies and this is perfect. I set it up, walk away and come back in a couple of hours to a new DVD. So far we have tried the DVDs on 3 different machines (including my son\'s Xbox) and everything has worked great. I can\'t tell you how happy I am. I\'d recommend it to everyone. I bought mine used from an Amazon vender and it is like new. In the box with all components, instructions, etc. I read reviews about how it only works with Sony product. Not true. My video recorder is a JVC and the tapes are Sony, Memorex and JVC. All seem to be working fine. I used DVD R+ which I am still unclear on the difference between R- and R+ but R+ was recommended by a friend and seems to be working so that\'s what I\'m sticking with. Thanks. Rating:  - Did not read my SD Card!

I bought this today and had to return it. I have the Kodak Zi8 using an SD card. I used the SD card with this Sony DVDirect and it didn\'t read it. It said it can be used by all medias and apparently, it didn\'t. That\'s what it said in small print in the manual but not on the box. Don\'t buy this unless you have only Sony products......
Must be an SD card used by a Sony video camera or something. Rating: - SONY DVD BURNER

Well worth the money. After having wasted money on a Toshiba DR420 DVD Recorder, Black and an Easycap USB Video Capture Adapter, I was getting a bit gun shy and short on cash. This recorder is not only very easy to use, but, the DVD\'s that it burns are easily recognised by my other equipment without any errors.
I use Verbatim® DVD+R Discs, 4.7GB, 16x, Spindle, 100/Pack.
I do not have any Sony memory sticks or a Sony Handicam. I bought this to burn DVD\'s from all of my other cameras via the composite cable connectors. Primarily, I needed a way to transfer video from my Canon ZR80 DV camcorder to my PC via DVD; I found the quality of the video and audio that is reproduced with this burner to be equal to the source input. Very nice, very easy to use, fast and quiet.
As far as size and weight, this item is not much larger than a personal CD player. And, the small menu and built monitor screen is crystal clear and plenty large enough to view. The menu screen is so intuitive that the instruction book is (for me) optional reading material.
I keep this burner in a zippered camera case to keep it dust free and safe. When I use it, I place it before me on a table or desktop and treat it as gently as I would a notebook PC, rather than shelving it like a DVD player or an old VCR. It is now a camera accessory and is handled in the same manner as my cameras. Rating: - Non-techie figured it out and is really pleased

I\'m a teacher and not very technically savvy, and I am thrilled with this product. I needed to convert my vast VHS library of teaching materials to DVD format. This product is working perfectly. There are just a few points I might add that I did not see in the reviews I read. I think some are so obvious that anyone with technical experience might not have thought they needed mentioning. First, if you are trying to convert plain old VHS tapes, you\'ll need a VCR. I didn\'t have one, and I actually thought (not understanding the scale of the photo of the product) that the tapes would go IN this machine. The good news is, you only need a VCR and one cord with red, yellow and white plugs. This will not tie up your TV. You play the tape into the converter. The converter has a small screen that lets you see where in the tape the converter is \"reading\". The other really cool part is that you can \"edit\" out parts of your VHS tapes you don\'t want (in my case, commercials embedded in videos). You just hit the pause button to skip those parts. The one thing mentioned in earlier reviews that I would just like to reiterate is that you need to change the recording quality setting from HQ to SP. This will give you 2 hours of video on each disc, as opposed to just over 1 hour and 20 or so minutes. Finally, you should buy DVD-R type DVDs. I lost some time trying to figure out the difference between DVD+r and DVD-R.
This is a great product and there really isn\'t anything quite like it on the market!
