does anyone have experience with dvd+rdl?

Yes. Very simple to use, good results. Would recommend, altho I bought a few years back and I don't know if there's a better/cheaper option now. For the time and place, though, it was excellent, and presumably still gives great results with little tech knowledge required.

I don't remember. I lost the manual some time back at a party. I have been using Windata DVD-R brand for years at Micro Center. It's both affordable and has over a 90 % success rate every time. Before that I have been using Verbatim.

Wish I could help, but I only have DVD RW disks. This machine works beautifully on those.

Yes when you are in "VR" mode...not "video" recording mode for DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks. I just did it using a -RW formated in VR. RP

I have the same experience as you. the manual clearly states that it will not play DVD+R or DVD+RW, but I have had no problem playing either.

I honestly can't remember if it came with a disc or a software because I didn't use any. It worked right out of the box (I recommend formatting it first though). Do you need a software? If you do, you can probably download it from their website.

So far I have only copied CD-Rs. It looks like it only duplicates DVD-Rs with data only as well. Not sure about cd+g.

Yes, I believe it accepts all DVD's, including RW and MDisc for permanent archival copies. I have not had a disc rejected yet. It's a great little machine.

My experience is limited and I do not have any experience with software other than Corel. I have used the DVD burner to create DVDs that will work on a DVD player. It seems to work OK. The picture quality was not as good as I get when I just save the data to my computer and watch it from there. However, I needed to burn some wedding videos for the bride and groom that they could watch on a TV. They seemed very happy with the videos. Overall I am very satisfied with this software.

HI.I would say dvd -r or + should be good either one should work fine just stay away from dvd rw.Being that its old footage you wouldn't want a accidental write over and as for size a 4.7 gb disc is plenty.8 mm footage is pretty compressed already a 9 gb would probably be waste of space.

I tried to record using a Sony DVD+R DL disc but it ran out of space after 2 hours. Sony says that this disc is not compatable with the DVDirect VRD-MC5 (although the manual indicates otherwise) and I should use a Verbatim disc, which I haven't tried yet.

For one thing that I discovered a bit too late is that the DVD -R are hit an miss. A lot of people have had success with them, and I and a number of others haven't. I bought a package of 100 dics and not one works. I can store to them, some of them, but later can not access them on two different laptops including the one I used to burn to. I am now using the +R without issues, so far on the same laptops, which are ACER Aspire's: one running Vista and the other running WIN 7.

You can use DVD+R discs. There is no real difference between DVD+R and DVD-R essentially they are the same. Yes you can watch recorded DVD's.
