It's easy to use and it works well.

Pros Very easy to use Quality of DVDs are very good(even in 6hr)
Cons Don't try copy protected materials Minimal Menu capability in direct setup
Recommended it? Yes
The Bottom Line:  I highly recommend it because it is reliable and simple to set up and use.
I have been very pleased with my DVDirect. It has been getting very heavy usage for the past 2 weeks since I am converting my video collection to DVD. It has performed flawlessly. The only "problems" I've had turned out to be my fault (I had some movie inserts in a couple of my home videos and they were detected as having copy protection and the recorder stops and doesn't restart even after the copy-guarded section has passed...so be aware of this).

If you are looking for a professional level menu setup, I suggest you use the PC setup. I prefer the simplicity of the direct hookup. For me, the 5 minute setting for each Chapter is fine. Also if I want a menu choice of program, I just hit the stop button (not pause) and it creates a new menu choice when I restart it. There is no way to name each menu item (default is numerical sequence), so you either have to put a list on your DVD envelope or use the first frame of your video to serve as a hint to what is on the menu.

If you have been putting off archiving your old family videos(especially the analog stuff) out of fear of too many complications...the Sony DVDirect is what you need.
