Sony Unveils DVDirect VRD-MC6 DVD Recorder

It was about the time that someone comes up with standalone device for easy transfer and recording of all those high-definition and standard-definition home videos and digital photos to DVD discs. That someone happens to be legendary Sony itself. Sony?s back with a new DVD recorder called VRD-MC6 – the next generation multi-function DVDirect DVD recorder. Why all the hype about this particular model? Well, it is Sony and that alone brings big expectations regarding features and indeed, VRD-MC6 is really unique for couple of reasons. Before we take closer look at it let me share with you a public secret – device is nearly 60% smaller compared to its predecessor and comes with a 2.7? color LCD display that is great for previewing video files, and enables you to view up to half a dozen digital photos simultaneously.

Shige Nakayama, manager of the DVDirect business at Sony, explains ?Many customers still have their old home movies on tapes and are looking for an easy solution to archive their personal digital imaging content on DVD discs. With the larger built-in LCD color screen in a smaller body, the new DVDirect model makes it easier for customers to transfer the content to DVD discs for archiving, enjoying and sharing with family and friends.?Want to transfer AVCHD quality videos to DVD discs in their native 1080i HD resolution? No problem.
Simple connect the VRD-MC6 directly to a Sony hard drive or Memory Stick media-based Handycam camcorder and leave the rest to this cool gadget. Burned DVDs then can be played back on compatible Blu-ray Disc devices( other players, computer optical drives and PS3 consoles).

DVDirect DVD recorder is ( tigthly) packed with many other features.??It supports Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo and Memory Stick Pro Duo media, SD/SDHC and xD-picture card media formats which means?you can use the VRD-MC6 to record digital photos to a DVD as a slideshow directly. What about ability to transfer standard-definition home videos to DVD discs? ?Thanks to Digital Video (i.LINK/FireWire/IEEE-1394) connectivity, Composite Video inputs, and USB support this task is breeze.

DVDirect VRD-MC6 will be available on the market?this September?with the price tag of about $229.
