VNUnet.com has a small article about the Panasonic DVD Movie Studio. This is a collection of hardware and software that offers a complete solution to digital video camera users. It comes with an IEEE 1394 interface card, a DVD-RAM/R drive and a set of applications for capture, edit and output.
However, there are limitations to both the hardware and software that should be considered before purchasing this system...
 Panasonic has chosen its own drive, the LF-D311DMS, as the DVD recorder for this system. Unlike DVD-RW or +RW drives, which can write and rewrite to both DVD and CD rewriteable media, the LF-D311DMS is a DVD-RAM/R drive. |
This means that the rewriteable media is limited to DVD-R (4.7Gb general) and DVD-Ram discs (up to 9.4Gb). There's no CD-R support. It's also slower than newer rewriteable DVD products, with 6X DVD-Rom reads, 24X CDRom reads and only 1X (1,350Kbps) for DVD-R writes.
But there is more. Read the complete article here. The price of this beauty is £382.97 (€589,54).
