User Comments about the Sony VRDVC30 DVDirect DVD Recorder
|
|
I tried a dozen different brands of DVD media, in all formats.+/-R, +/-RW, DL, made no difference. Even with SONY brand discs.all became coasters. Huge disapointment. I had high hopes for this burner, as I had used a VC20 unit at work, and never had a problem with it. The additional quality setting and PAL standard were all plusses for me when purchasing the VC30, HOWEVER, I never got a SINGLE video disc burned on the unit to play properly on my DVD player. Sadly, the Amazon Marketplace vendor from whom I bought it WOULD NOT replace it or refund my money, saying it was SONY's responsibility, and SONY wouldn't be responsible for it either, telling me to return it to the vendor for a replacement.(buyer beware, read into every Marketplace vendor's return policies CLOSELY)., so I was stuck selling it to somebody with whom I work, who uses it for PC only.Not what I had expected.
The first DVD I put into the slot would not record and apparently got hung up inside when I tried to eject it. Received the item, took me a while until I could understand the set-up instructions. Could never get it out.
THIS UNIT IS SLOW AND YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT YOU ARE RECORDING UNTILL IT IS FINISHED. HENCE IF THERE ARE ANY ERRORS YOU JUST WASTED A WHOLE 2 HRS OF YOUR TIME. NOT AS GREAT AS I EXPECTED.AFTER ALL I HOPED THAT BECAUSE IT WAS SONY IT SHOULD BE TOP OF THE LINE. ALSO OLD VHS TAPES MAY NOT RECORD PROPERLLY IF THEY HAVE ANY GLTCHES IN THEM.
Very reasonable price for a great product. I want to try more things but haven't had the time. Worked exactly as advertized.no connection to a computer. I used it to transfer from a VHF tape to make a DVD to take to a family reunion. I'd recommend it to everyone who wants an "easy-friendly" way to make a DVD.
I received it 3 days ago and have converted all my old family VHS stuff to DVD. I haven't had a problem yet. I'm sure that there are requirements that other people have that the unit doesn't meet, but for simple ole' me it has been great. I started to buy this recorder 10 weeks ago but read all the negative stuff about it and so.I ordered another brand. Fortunately for me, the other item never arrived and so, I went ahead and bought this item. Simple to use.
