I own a Sony VRD-VC10, and I have to say its a win win situation if you purchase one. yes its true you can record in the field straight from any source having an rca output or s-video. But the true genious to this burner is that you can record in the field, dump to your hard drive and (if you have the appropriate software) edit and create a masterpiece without dropping frames or any of the glitches that sting those of us who are videographer/directors.
The only thing better would be to include BLUERay.
(yeah,,,) All in all, its better than any burner ive seen.

I like this recorder a lot - but it's important to understand what it was designed for and what it wasn't!

As an external USB 2.0 writer I assume it compares with other external writers. Nothing special there.

Where it shines is when you want to record directly to DVD IN THE FIELD! It is smaller than any set top DVD recorder I know . It has a built in encoder that allows you to connect a camcorder directly to it's composite or S-Video inputs. Simply insert a blank DVD +/RW and after it auto formats you just press the Rec button.
You can record to dual layer discs as well. Try that with a set top.

There are two drawbacks when using it as a field recorder though:

No video output means you cannot monitor what you're recording directly. You have to split the signal out to a monitor.
No battery power means you need to be near an AC outlet.

Sony seems to be billing this unit as a hybrid between a set top and an external computer DVD recorder. If you want to use it in place of a set top, forget it. No tuner, no video output, no renaming titles, etc.

You can however, edit discs recorded on this unit with the ILO set top recorders (which I have done) and probably other Lite-on set tops, as DVDhelp lists the drive as a Lite-on.
