 No sound with a Mono input November 23, 2008
I have an older camcorder and VCR that have only mono outputs (not stereo); the VRD-MC5 will not record any sound from my VHS and VHS-C tapes. I contacted Sony to ask for a software upgrade, but was told they could not provide one. They also told me that they do not guarantee the VRD-MC5 to work with all models of camcorders and VCR's. I will try to find a "Y" RCA male cable to see if providing two input signals, instead of one, for the sound will work. If it doesn't, I'm sending the VRD-MC5 back to Amazon.
 Makes child's play of copying Hi8 tapes to DVDs! November 21, 2008
This product is simply amazing! It's so easy to use that it's just incredible. I was able to start copying my old Hi8 camcorder tapes to DVDs in literally just minutes. And the results are fabulous! I played back my first DVD on a 52" 1080p LCD TV using a Blu-Ray player and the DVD videos copied from my 12-year old Hi8 tapes looked absolutely magnificent! I couldn't believe my eyes! It has an easy to use menu to guide you quickly through the setup. Aesthetically it's a homely little device, but it's very well laid out, trivially easy to use and quite versatile. And who can beat the great price and speedy delivery from Amazon! I highly recommend this product!
 SONY DVDirect November 19, 2008
Disappointed that the memories cards readers do not transfer video, it for photo only. The USB only recognize SONY camcorders.
FINALLY I CAN TRANSFER MY 8MM TO DVD. November 9, 2008
Up until now I have had no way to share my videos with my children, friends and other family members. Not everyone has a 8mm player. But every one has a DVD player. This little machine is so cool and simple to operate that I was able to select what I wnted to put on a DVD for each individual person. How much better this makes it for me!! I also live in Texas where tapes (VHS and 8mm) grow mold on them and you lose alot of video tape that way. This way I can transfer to a disc before the tape is moldy. I have lost many memories on tape due to the mold..Thank you so much for this great creation... God bless Nola
 Good but not as good as VCD-VC20 October 15, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I use the Sony VRDMC5 to burn dvds from the DVR or from VHS tapes. The VRDMC5 makes excellent dvds of 2 hours length or shorter, but it has consistently failed to make a complete dual layer recording of a longer movie or show. For some reason, it shuts down before the end of the movie or show. This makes this model much less desirable than its predecessor: the VCD-VC20. I still have one working VCD-VC20 (more than 5 years old) and it still produces excellent regular and dual layer dvds. The VRDMC5 also appears to be more discriminating than the VCD-VC20. Where the latter records on virtually every blank dvd (+R and -R), my VRDMC5 records exclusively on +R blank dvds.
