    This product is great. we have had a handyman 8mm camera for some time but we never used it much because of how much of a pain it was to move the video off of the 8mm tape. This device has brought new life to the camera. We are busy copying all of our tapes to DVD and it is easy to use and quick to setup.

    Created ONE DVD from VHS tape which worked perfectly. UNFORTUNATELY on attempting to make a 2nd DVD from VHS Tape, the Record Button DID NOT WORK. I'm willing to try another VRDMC6 so asking for an exchange. I'm hoping that the next VRDMC6 will not be Defective. If so, ABT gives 30 day return policy and I will get my account credited.
    At this point, I cannot recommend or not recommend.

        Comments about Sony Black DVDirect MC6 DVD Recorder:

        Exciting to take SDHC memory card from camera and then have a DVD later! I was amazed at the finished quality of the discs, going from a Sony HD camcorder through the Sony MC6 DVD Recorder and then onto my Sony Bravia flat screen via my Panasonic blu-ray player. My daughter's lacrosse games look as good on the television as any HD televised sporting event you would watch. Since I use a Mac at home, this was my best option for converting memory cards into DVD's. I am very pleased with this purchase.

            Comments about Sony Black DVDirect MC6 DVD Recorder:

            We got our first video camera in 1984. Since that time, I have used virtually every format (VHS, VHS-C, 8mm and DV). Several years ago, I went through the very painful process of copying some old tapes to DVD using my computer and a software package. Rendering usually took hours.
            This little unit is a direct to DVD recorder. So far I have transferred 50 hours of video tape to DVD. I started with the DV tapes first since they were the easiest. the DVDs look great. I am now transferring the VHS-C tapes.
            The unit allows several types of transfer with cables or media cards. I have not tried to transfer images from media cards, but it looks easy. I have also copied the DVDs of my home videos using my computer and both Soney Vegas, and Pinnacle software with no problem
