I have used the VRDMC5 for about a month now. I run it every 2-3 week days and on weekends, so it's had a lot of use. Got a great price on Amazon! The unit is very easy to use. I first transferred all of my camcorder tapes (taken with a Sony Handycam Digital8 DCR-TRV460) to Sony DVD-R disks with the firewire cable that came with the camcorder. You literally only have to push the buttons to make a few choices and the rest is automatic ... start and stop.

Plug your camcorder to it with a DV cable, insert a DVD-R and hit the big red button. You can watch it play (no sound) and it ejects the disk when done. What could be easier?

This great little gadget works the first time, all the time, every time. And NO computer is required. Can you imagine trying to transfer a VHS tape to DVD with a PC involved! That would never happen. This stand alone unit is the way to go. Oh yes, it is SUPER easy to use.
Rating: - A great way to get organized.
I purchased this unit a month ago and I'm very pleased with it. At last I have an easy way to transfer my old VHS tapes to DVD. It's also a snap to turn digital photo's from your camera's memory card into a slide show on DVD. This product does everything they say it will do! I highly recommend it.

The product appears to be the device that I was expecting to receive, but I have not had the chance to use it and verify quality. I plan to do so in the very near future.
