Sony DVDirect Express VRDP1 Multi-Function DVD Writer for Sony Handycam Camcorders with USB interface (Black) This instant


I bought this to go with the Sony DCR-SR47 Hard Disk Drive Handycam® camcorder and it works great. I have burned about 30 copies so far and have had no problems. Been great for making DVD's of my son's youth football games and I have made copies for many parents. All of them have said the dvd's work fine.

Takes about 12 minutes to burn 30 minutes of video. Overall this product has been great.Get more detail about Sony DVDirect Express VRDP1 Multi-Function DVD Writer for Sony Handycam Camcorders with USB interface (Black).

Western Digital, WD TV Mini Media Player WDBAAL0000NBK-NESN Immediately


I've had the mini for a couple of weeks now. My overall impressions are that it is a good, inexpensive alternative for the SD crowd - which is the reason that I purchased it (why buy a fancy unit for an old TV?). It did not meet my needs for my Panasonic 46" Plasma, but it works great on my ancient JVC SD TV.

Pros:
Nice comprehensive manual (unlike many of these media players)
Small size - easily portable
Good interface - I used a large portable drive and it's easy to scroll through and find files
Can easily be found at a reduced price
For those of us with old SD TV's, the composite output is great!

Cons:
Plays very few of the files that I've thrown at it, but does play standard avi's, so it meets my needs
Lack of HDMI - only composite and component
Small remote (although it is a full-featured remote)
Full retail price is astronomical when compared to its competition

Now the number of stars that I am giving this product are because it is easily available at 30-40% below retail. If I were to pay full price, the number of stars would be substantially lower! This has become a very crowded market for media players, and this unit just does not offer enough bang for the buck.Get more detail about Western Digital, WD TV Mini Media Player WDBAAL0000NBK-NESN.

Maximum performance from my D300! This is my fourth SanDisk Extreme, not because the first three needed replacing...all are still working great, but at the speed my camera will shoot with the MB-D10 battery pack and the Extreme IV means I a can really fill up a card FAST!

A GREAT card!Get more detail about SanDisk SDCFX4-4096 4GB Extreme IV CompactFlash Card.
