Confused about the various DVD recordable/rewritable formats?
Have you been putting off buying because you’re afraid
of making the wrong decision? Sony’s amazing new DRU-500A
is the first DVD recorder for your PC that brings together
all the popular formats in a single drive: DVD-R/-RW and DVD+RW/+R,
as well as CD-R and CD-RW.
The drive comes bundled with excellent industry standard
software from Veritas™, Sonic Solutions®, ArcSoft®,
CyberLink®, and MusicMatch®. Create and share your
home movies, preserve old tapes on DVD, backup your system,
create self-running slide shows of your digital pictures,
create your own original music CDs, and so much more. Own
a Sony DRU-500A and you’ll never have to worry about
which DVD format is going to become the industry standard,
because the drive does them all! *
*DVD+RW and DVD-RW discs recorded on this drive may not play
back on some older or entry-level DVD systems. The write-once
DVD+R or DVD-R discs are more compatible for interchange with
other DVD systems.
Please record responsibly. Before copying anything onto a
CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R or DVD+RW, please be sure you are not violating
copyright laws.
