Samsung announced this week that it has released a new version of its TruDirect software that is compatible with its internal 22x DVD writers. By downloading and installing this free software, users can connect a digital device such as a camcorder or digital camera to their PC and burn videos or photos directly to DVD in real-time.

To use TruDirect, you will need to update the firware of your drive. The SH-S223Q and SH-S223F will need to be updated to firmware version SB03 or higher. The SH-S222A and SH-S222L can also be used with TruDirect by updating the firmware to SB01. However, this firmware does not seem to be available yet. Once the firware is updated, you can then install the TruDirect software which can be downloaded here.
