Camcorder owners will love making pristine DVD copies of videos for easy playback, or for sharing with friends and family.

DVD-RAM discs can be erased and re-recorded up to 100,000 times! But best of all, you get incredible flexibility: the DMR-E55 gives you advanced DVD-RAM recording and playback options that just aren't possible with a VCR.Jump directly to any spot and begin playing or recording right away. You can arrange recorded programs for playback in any order you choose. The "Chasing Playback" feature lets you watch the beginning of a recorded program while the show is finishing recording!
