Samsung sent out a press release this morning,
announcing their latest optical drive, the TruDirect SE-S204S. With this new drive, consumers can connect a digital device such as a
camcorder or digital camera to their PC and burn videos or photos to DVD in real-time.
Samsung Electronics Ltd., the worldwide digital consumer electronics and
information technology leader, introduces a powerful new optical disc drive, TruDirect SE-S204S, which allows consumers to create DVDs
and burn digital content through a PC without the need for a hard drive. The TruDirect SE-S204S provides easy and fast real-time
recording from nearly any digital device.
With camcorder and digital camera sales skyrocketing, predicted to be nearly 100
million units sold in 2008, consumers can now conveniently create DVDs in record time. Similar to VCR recording, users can connect a
digital device such as a camcorder, digital camera or Web cam to their PC or notebook, and then connect the Samsung TruDirect SE-S204S to
the computer to burn DVD movies directly.
The TruDirect SE-S204S can also function as an external DVD writer and is
capable of 20x DVD±R, 16x DVD+R DL and 12x DVD-RAM writing speeds. The drive is shipping with a street price of $159.99. More information
