5 out of 5 stars Sony DVDirect DVD Recorder   January 9, 2009
Excellent device for transferring my collection of treasured VHS tapes to DVD. Worked perfectly every time though a little slow since it was recording in real VHS playback time. Quality of recorded DVD's nearly the same as the original VHS tapes and saved the cost of again buying some of these programs on DVD. Now that I've about run out of tapes to convert, I have to decide what to do with it.

I have a bunch of VHS tapes and bought this product in order to transfer them to DVDs. And it does the job well. I was using EyeTV to transfer the tapes to computer files, then burn DVDs with them, but using the VRD-MC5 is much easier. The manual didn't say that you could record 1hour with HQ mode, 2hours with SP, and 6hours with SLP and I had to go through some FAQs at Sony web site to find out and it was frustrating, but everything works fine. I'll be playing with this more with AVCHD video files.

I have a Sony 120 GB HD Camera and we have been watching our footage from the camera with the HDMI cable. This thing is so easy to use. I select the format I want to record (AVCHD) and then select the segments I want to put on the DVD. It keeps track of the DVD that will be needed. I select just enough to get 1 DVD full. Hit record and it does the job and out comes the complete DVD. In my opinion it is fast and easy.

Bought this a week ago on sale at Best Buy. I have a Sharp camera that is seven years old and uses 8mm film. I hooked up the camera to the recorder and everything was a snap. The set up is easy, everything worked right off the bat. I like how it creates chapters at whatever time interval you set, in increments of five minutes up to 20 or 25 minutes. You can also stop the recording and it will make "titles", which are the chapters on the opening dvd menu. After finalizing the dvd I tried it in multiple dvd players and it worked everywhere. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase. I've wanted to transfer my tapes to dvd for a long time and this is the thing to do it with.
