Sony DVDirect VRD-VC20 Analog Video Recordable DVD Drive There are multiple routes to creating a DVD from analog audio-video sources, many involving a computer. Although this device can be connected (via USB) to a computer and used to burn DVDs, it can also be used to simply record DVDs directly from analog outputs (RCA composite, s-video or FireWire/DV, without computer connection. IMPORTANT NOTE: It should be noted that this model does not itself have any video display (or output) capability, so for monitoring of a recording in progress, hookup of the playing-source to an external monitor/TV is needed. Note that there are no HDMI inputs/outputs on this device. The capabilities of the device are extensive, and it does not make much sense to repeat them in an eBay listing description. This listings photos detail the disc media compatibility. An internet search with key terms Sony VRD-VC20 reviews should yield useful background information on the specific product features of this model. In particular, CNET published a favorable March 2, 2005 review. PC Magazine UK published a favorable July 25, 2005 review. Support for the product, including drivers/firmware updates, can be found at Sonys website: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/photo-frames-printers-others-blu-ray-dvd-writers/vrd-vc20/faqs It is believed, although not certain, that the firmware for the device has never been changed since time of manufacture.(Since it always performed flawlessly, there seemed little reason to change anything.) The unit for sale was used occasionally in a smoke-free home environment, only for a few months, after which time it was retired in favor of a newer Sony model (with built-in video display). All three video inputs were utilized at various times, as well as the computer-USB connection. During use, no problems of any kind were ever encountered. Unit has always been handled carefully -- no spills, drops, etc. To verify that the unit still functions as expected, a DVD recording was made just this week from a DVD players analog AV outputs, and the resultant finalized DVD disc displayed perfectly to screen/speakers via a different DVD player. Another important note: This unit does not have built-in features for creating DVD menus or even title screens. It is more suited for the task of converting amateur home video tapes to DVD format for informal viewing, rather than for commercial or artistic projects. Reviews state that the hardware was to be bundled with a Nero suite of software for DVD creation. However, that 2005-era software is not included in this sale; even if it were available, there are undoubtedly more modern version available today, including some with little or no cost (e.g., Burnaware Free). Cosmetically the recorder, silver finished, is very good, with only one or two minor scuffs on the front surface (the LED display panel side) -- hardly noticeable at any distance, not capturable in a photo. The spring-loaded switch-bar used to close-up and eject discs from the sliding drawer tray has a 2-3 millimeter or so abraded area on its ridge where the silver finish has begun to darken -- see listing closeup photo. All listing photos are of the item for sale -- no stock images. As shown in the listing photos, all original power and cable accessories for the unit, along with the Operating Instructions booklet & Quick Start Guide sheet, are included, as well as the OEM box (which shows signs of exterior wear; not all interior packaging is present, but additional cushioning has been added for protection during shipping). Shipping will be in a sturdy cardboard carton: 16 L x 12 W x 6 H; gross weight 7.0 pounds. eBays website will provide a ground shipping cost to your US location. Note on pricing: Browsing to a Brazilian rainforest site, you might see a few new units of this model for sale with price $165. So, it makes no sense for bidding on this item to approach that amount. eBays Advanced Search will show sales price for recently sold, used items in very good condition, prices for which seem to be quite variable, though well below $165.

Tested and working. I just used it to do several dvd transfers to my PC. Works great.
