We got our first video camera in 1984. Since that time, I have used virtually every format (VHS, VHS-C, 8mm and DV). Several years ago, I went through the very painful process of copying some old tapes to DVD using my computer and a software package. Rendering usually took hours.This little unit is a direct to DVD recorder. So far I have transferred 50 hours of video tape to DVD. I started with the DV tapes first since they were the easiest. the DVDs look great. I am now transferring the VHS-C tapes.The unit allows several types of transfer with cables or media cards. I have not tried to transfer images from media cards, but it looks easy. I have also copied the DVDs of my home videos using my computer and both Soney Vegas, and Pinnacle software with no problem

I was skeptical, but bought this unit anyway because I could not use the software that came with my new HD camcorder. There seemed to be a conflict and the only way I could watch my videos was to attach the camera to my TV. This recorder is very easy to use and the HD quality is perfect. You can downgrade the quality to SD for normal DVD playback and that quality isn't as good, obviously, but still very satisfactory. I would recommend this to anyone.

I was really impressed by the capability of this DVR to detect the end of a miniDV tape from my camera, even through an RCA cable. I needed to copy some miniDV tapes to DVD, and this beauty allowed me to just press record and then play on the miniDV camera, and the DVR would actually pause once the video on the tape ended. Other DVRs would record forever the blue screen of my camera, so this allowed me to relax and not setup timers and alarms every time i needed to copy two tapes on one DVD.
