Panasonic VW-BN1 AVCHD Archive and Playback DVD Burner for SD5, SD9 & HS9 Camcorders Reviews
During our last visit of USA this September, I bought an HS9 camera together with this burner. (since it's a DC device, European 220V 50Hz has no negative effect on) I am writing this review in order to avoid any misunderstanding because, AVCHD seems to be an intermediate standard of HD recording until the real BluRay camcorders will be available at this compact size, that's why, it is better to have the answers of two questions : 1- Will the existing or our futur purchase BluRay DVD player support this standard or there won't be any chance to provide a BluRay DVD player other than Panasonic. If any of these answers is negative, than we should think twice before deciding recorders in AVCHD standard. 2- If the choice of Panasonic will be compulsory , will it match with the existing HD LCD TV (Philips for ex). I am an overseas customer of Amazon living in Istanbul-Turkey.
Not cool. This burner works fine, but Panasonic fails to tell you that the DVDs it burns will not play on anything you have at home unless you have a BluRay.
it does what it was designed to do. they should add some software to it so that you can play with it with your pc. a little slow but fast enough. this item is pretty nifty thing.
We took it with us on a week long vacation and my husband was able to do this in a few minutes every evening. I would highly recommend this burner for anyone who has the Panasonic HDC-SD5 HD Camcorder. We purchased the Playback DVD Burner to be able to easily download/burn our family videos.
Easy to use. I have the HDC-SD9 1080i camcorder which uses only SDHC cards, and so having this little drive is super handy when traveling and you want to keep using a single SDHC card to record hours of HD video, because it allows you to burn onto DVD (single or dual-layer) media and then reuse the memory card. 1. This is a real let down of this drive.
No DVD+R (or DVD+R DL) support. The Bottom Line:. 1. 6X burning speed for DVD-R (including DVD-R dual-layer). 3. ===================.
It lets you select specific video clips stored on the memory card and will let you know, after selecting your clips, how many DVD-R or DVD-R DL (dual-layer) will be required for the selected clips. After connecting the drive to my HDC-SD9 (both of which need to be connected to AC adaptors) via USB cable (with different mini-USB connectors on each end. Taiyo Yuden compatible. 2. Still, it's a highly useful companion to easily burn your HD videos onto DVD (until blu-ray burners become affordable) for convenience while traveling and simply for avoiding the slow and painful video editing process (until home computers become more powerful) for those who don't mind watching unedited, raw footage.
The Bad:. This drive would be a bit better if it could burn a DVD-R DL at 8x and a DVD-R at 16x, instead of 4x speed, which would speed things up significantly. Unfortunately, TY doesn't make any dual/double layer media at this time (or at least, they don't sell them to the public). ========================.
2. Utility. Title says it all, really. This is bad because, for whatever reason, DVD+R DL media are cheaper and faster for the price generally. The Good:. This little drive is pretty sleek, aluminum-cased, compact in size, is relatively quiet when operating, and should be easy to carry around.
don't lose it)., it's as easy as selecting the burn video option. No power button, but why would you need one.
Design. This is a pretty useful item if you own one of the compatible Panasonic camcorders. =======================. 8x DVD+R DL are plentiful and easily obtained, while only 4x DVD-R DL discs seem to exist at the current time.
Yes, I only burn on TY media, and I can verify that their standard 16x DVD-R work fine. Overall, I would recommend this drive despite its shortcomings, those being primarily the lack of 8x burning and DVD+R support. Unlike almost every DVD burner out there, this dvd writer will only let you use DVD-R media and not DVD+R discs.
