Home movie-makers rejoice! High definition DVD recorders are here! Wouldn't it be great if there were a device that allowed you to transfer all those home movies from now and the past onto DVD? Without a computer? What about burning those high definition videos from your HD camcorder?
Now you can. In fact, if you have a Sony High Def Handycam with memory stick or hard drive storage, you can burn HD video at 1080i resolution on a DVD disc! Enjoy those home movies, digitally preserved, while you are relaxing in front of your HDTV.
Although a Blu-ray player is required to view those DVDs you record in high definition, the cost of a blank DVD vs. a blank Blu-ray disc is far less expensive. Using AVCHD or advanced video codec HD, this high def DVD recorder can burn videos recorded in a high definition format known as H.264. This special type of video compression allows approximately 90 minutes of HD video to fit on a 4.7 gigabyte single layer DVD.
