Need to get those Mini DV tapes to DVD quickly? How about VCR tapes? What about Digital Photos? Well, here is a nice all in one (no PC) solution that will port just about anything to DVD, in real time. The 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 inch color LCD screen makes it easy to preview video or view up to 4 digital pictures at a time. So, if you’re not computer savvy or just want to bypass the whole MS Windows “Insert word here” (crap comes to mind), this solutions might be for you…
