http://live.pirillo.com – Last night, I picked up the new Sony VRD-MC5. This little device is amazing. It takes the complexity of configuring software to record things to DVD and completely wipes it out. Now, you can convert pretty much anything into DVD format with ease!

Have you hooked this up to a TV with a VCR made into it? I think it will work, But I would like to hear it from you. DId you find it had all the connectors needed? Di you have to buy extra?
My video camera will not connect to the computer. It is a Cannon DV ZR85. It will connect to a TV and play video. Will it be compatable?? Any help will be appreciated.

I did make 2 DVD coasters in this whole process but I`m going to blame the cheap media (4xDVD+r) DVD`s I bought all couple years ago.
Years ago I bought a all-in-wonder card and tried to put all my old hi8`s on DVD and it was so frustrating and time consuming I gave up.
The Sony Direct-DVD made this chore very simple .
Thank you Chris I always trust your opinion.

On Chris`s Review I Picked up a VRD-MC5 at the Sony refurbished store.Chris you are correct,This Gadget is very cool. I`ve recorded 15 dvd`s in the past 3 days,Several from my old Sony Hi8 Analog,several from my old Panasonic VHS-C Analog. and two from my newest digital tape camcorder the Panasonic pvg-s29( 2 years old). I hooked up the S29 with fire-wire and the VRD-MC5 took control of the S29 ,rewinding it and playing/recording with the push of one button.

VRD-MC5 Is finicky. Works best if the orginal tapes are digital. If they are VHS, HI8 analog forget it. It wont read. The USB connection didnt work on my HI8 DV camera. Dont buy this unit. You will be very sad.
