Sony VRD-VC20 Review
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 10:30 AM
"The VRD-VC20 is Sony’s 2nd generation stand-alone DVD recorder. The VRD-VC20 adds a DV (1394) digital video input and dual layer writing capability to the previous generation VRD-VC10. The VRD-VC20, like similar products, is directed at the consumer who has amassed a library of analog video recordings and would like to convert them directly to a DVD – without connecting to a PC. Unlike a combination VCR / DVD recorder, the VRD-VC20 contains no tape drive and is therefore very compact. When not performing as a stand-alone DVD recorder, the VRD-VC20 connects to a PC for general DVD recorder duty."
Not a bad idea if you have lots of analog video you wish to convert. I'm a little surprised that it doesn't have video out. You can find the VRD-VC20 around $300.
