Sony's new DVDirect VRD-MC3 allows both video and digital photos to be recorded to DVD without requiring a PC. The MC3 sports video inputs on one side for direct connection of a camcorder/VCR/DVR for easy direct recording of video to DVD. The MC3 also incorporates memory card slots for the 5 popular camera memory cards and will directly record images from the memory card to DVD as a slide show or just for photo storage. The 2.5" color LCD screen makes it easy to preview video or view up to 4 digital pictures at a time. Enhanced connection to Sony HDD Handycam camcorders allows all the video on the Handycam to be recorded to DVD (full mode), or only new video shot since the last DVD burn (incremental mode) at up to 6X speed.
