Sony Rolls Out Next-Generation DVDirect Direct-to-DVD Recorder
Sony announces its next-generation DVDirect (pronounced DVD Direct) recorder, which lets users convert footage in real-time, from a digital camcorder to a DVD without using a computer. The DVDirect recorder also works with analog camcorders, VCRs, and other video sources. What's more, it can be attached to a computer for more advanced DVD burning projects.Transferring home movies to DVDs is as easy as connecting a camcorder to the DVDirect drive and pressing the record button. The recorder automatically creates a DVD menu and can automatically or manually generate titles and chapters on a disc. "With DVDirect, converting taped footage to DVD is as simple as dubbing an audio cassette tape," said Robert DeMoulin, marketing manager for branded storage products in Sony Electronics' IT Products Division. "It can be used for basic camcorder-to-DVD transfers in standalone mode or it can be attached to a computer for more advanced DVD authoring projects." |
