Customer Reviews

Can't record anything unless I use Fujifilm DVDs
I have been very, very generous in giving this device a single star. It can only record reliably using Fujifilm DVD-R 8x discs that have been made in Japan. It occasionally can record using Sony brand DVDs, but it is not practical to use a machine that is more likely fail than succeed.

Unfortunately, I wasted the 1-year warrantee period experimenting and mainly throwning away various brands of bland DVDs before realizing that only one brand, with only recording speed works. I immediately bought all the "Fujifilm DVD-R 8x" I could find and have enough to last about a year. However, Fujifilm no longer seems to be making these DVDs so I will probably have to throw the machine away once I run out Fujifilm DVDs.

All in all, this machine is crazy and unreliable. The old reliable VCR seems to be the better technology. DVD recorders are for the birds.

Sony VRDMC5 DVDirect DVD Recorder
I am VERY pleased with my purchase. I like it cause it is so compact verses other recorders. Works great, no problems to report on it. Glad I made the purchase.

Sony VRDMC5 DVDirect DVD Recorder
This product was a gift for a younger family member. They like the whole idea of it but was a little disappointed that this product doesn't allow any editing. I did the research on this item and it was clearly stated that it is strictly a copying machine and that is all. Personally I have quite a few Hi-8 tapes that I need to transfer to DVD and I am planning to purchase this same machine for myself. After I do so, I will be able to give a first hand review which might be more helpful to someone.
