 No sound with a Mono input November 23, 2008
Keith Sargent (Rockville, Maryland USA)
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
Redman1953 (Saint Louis, MO)
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
Nola Whiting (Kirbyville Texas)
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
Clarence Nagao (Honolulu, Hawaii United States)

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.
