Sony Introduces VRD-MC6 DVDirect DVD Recorder
Sony today debuted its next-generation multi-function DVDirect™ DVD recorder, which can transfer both high-definition and standard-definition home videos and digital photos to DVD discs without using a computer.

The new VRD-MC6 model has a 2.7-inch color LCD screen for previewing video or up to six digital photos at a time, and its overall size is almost 60 percent smaller than its predecessor.
“Many customers still have their old home movies on tapes and are looking for an easy solution to archive their personal digital imaging content on DVD discs. With the larger built-in LCD color screen in a smaller body, the new DVDirect model makes it easier for customers to transfer the content to DVD discs for archiving, enjoying and sharing with family and friends,” said Shige Nakayama, manger of the DVDirect business at Sony.



CDRLabs has taken an in depth look at LG's new network attached storage device, the N4B1. Designed for home and small business users, this four-bay NAS supports multiple RAID configurations and can be configured to store up to 8TB of data. What makes the N4B1 stand out among other NAS devices in its class is its built in Blu-ray rewriter. This drive not only serves as a secondary storage medium, it makes it possible to share a BD, DVD or CD among many users by creating a virtual disc library.
