Sony has introduced the new VRD-VC20 DVDirect recorder which allows you to record a video source in real time onto a blank DVD or DVD-DL disk. This basically allows you to back up your videos onto DVD-Video formats without the need of a computer in the way. The unit supports video transfers from digital camcorders over Firewire or transfers from analog sources such as VCRs and televisions. The unit is also capable of connecting to a PC via the USB port where you can then create complex DVD authoring projects.
