One Opinion about “DVDirect VDR-MC6 DVD recorder, direct from cameras and camcorder”
It needs to be stressed in capital print that this recorder only works with Sony’s Handicam. I bought a Canon video camera because I needed the external mic feature that Sony doesn’t offer and the recorder was not compatible with the memory stick although it had a slot for it.
