Sony VRD-MC6 price and reviews

I am very pleased with this unit. It is very easy to use and delivers good quality results.

The unit's ease of use is primarily driven by the on-unit LCD screen which allows you to cue and verify your source material. Another nice bonus is the unit will automatically pause and un-pause recording based on the availability of a video source. This ensures better cueing and reduces the need to babysit the unit.

My only complaint is the sparse DVD menu that this unit generates. Although it will create automatic chapters at predefined increments (5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc) it does not present those in the home menu. There is only a single menu for each session burned to the disc and for most people they will only burn one session per disc. Users will only be able to advance through the chapters while playing the disc. That remains a minor setback though and reasonable sacrifice considering the unit?s ease of use.

Please note that this unit does enforce copy protection and will refuse to record some copy protected material. I tried to move some old Disney VHSs to DVD and the unit never recognized the incoming video source and wouldn't start recording. This is common to other similar units.

Ease of use: 4 stars

Great but sucks without editing permissions..Very, very easy to use! Directions do suck but over time you'll get it.
