Sony Makes Backing Up to DVD a Snap

News flash: tapes are out. Yes, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but VHS is a dead medium, and other tape formats such as MiniDV are on their way out. Super8? Please. Discs are the way people store and watch things on the moment (at least until everything goes completely digital and formatless), so discs are how you should be storing things. Luckily, Sony makes that really easy to do.

Their VRD-MC5 DVDirect MC5 Multi-Function DVD Recorder makes transferring your older home movies and photos to DVD an absolute snap. You don’t need to mess with a computer at all, instead just running your VCR and camcorder right into the recorder and hitting a couple of buttons; it takes care of the rest. It can also take pictures from any number of memory card formats and back them up to a DVD just as easily. It’s the perfect way to make sure your old videos are still watchable without giving yourself a technological headache. Then you’ll be able to sit back and relax, at least until the next new format comes out.
