Awesome!

This was a great purchase! Very, very easy to use and fairly quick burning. It is perfect for easy removal of videos, especially if your computer doesn't have enough hard disk space! Love it!

JVC warranty not worth much

I bought this DVD burner 8 months ago. I used it about 10 times, and then it stopped recognizing disks and wouldn't work at all. It was still within the 1 year warranty, so I called the company to get directions on how to send it in for repairs. I was informed that I'd still have to pay $80-90 labor, because the product is only warranted for labor for 3 months. When you include postage to send the product in, the cost to get JVC to repair it would be about $100, or more than half the cost of the product new. Online reviews I've read since I bought this indicate that this malfunction happens a lot. I thought readers would like to know that the warranty is basically useless, unless you want to gamble $100 on a less than $200 product that will probably break again when you get it home. I will ask more questions and do more research when I go to get another DVD burner, and it won't be a JVC product.

Worked very well and can be used by someone not computer saavy just no Photograph transfer which is curious.

The Dvd will record dvd-r without much work and practically no work if you are just copying all that is on your video camera, it just fills and closes the first dvd and asks for others until it is done(ours needed 3 dvd's to get all from camera.
One surprising although not critical omission is that the dvd's don't include the still photographs that you have on the camera, you have to use an sd card in the camera and switch so that all picts are stored on the sd card. ALSO... the everio camera my father in law has will only use up to a 1 gig sd card so if you are having trouble using a sd 2 gig etc, that is the problem.

JVC CU-VD20 Share Station DVD Burner

We purchased this DVD burner in conjunction with a matched JVC Video camera, and must state that it works as advertised. Of its many assets are the ability to burn to DVD any picture and/or video without the need of computer. This is a big plus on vacation trips away from the home. The interfacing with the camara's docking station is intuitive and the transfer itself is handled seemlessly from the camara's lcd screen.

The only negative (minor at that) is that it requires one to purchase -R DVD disk. It has been my experience that the +R disk are the format that the more modern stand alone DVD players prefer. This drive/burner does not work on the +R format. That being said, with the proper software on the home computer - the conversion to the +R format is really only one step removed.

We went on a one week vacation, and this product allowed me to download content off of the camera's hard drive, thus keeping the camara clean and functioning smoothly. It can as well server as a playback  more
