Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony VRDMC5 DVDirect DVD Recorder
Customer Review: VRDMC5 Warning
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this thing intending to take my family's slides and put them onto DVD's for preservation and ease of handling. I copied 200 slides onto a memory card and copied the memory card onto a DVD with no problems and great speed. When I looked at the DVD, I found that none of the images were in order. I began looking for a way to correct this, and found none. I therefore contacted SONY and explained the situation. I told them that it's sort of silly to make a DVD of a vacation, for example, and then find all the images out of order.
Sony's answer via live chat was that this is what the unit is designed to do and there is no way to change it. Unfortunately, I've had this thing too long to ship it back.
It copys minidv tapes with no problems, as far as I can tell, but it really stinks for still images if you care at all about having them in order. I would recommend this to no one.
Description 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.Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
