Anyone know if the TR3 supports direct to DVD via i.LINK?

What do you mean exactly?

Do you mean, can the TR burn to an external DVD burner that is connected via Firewire (which is what i.Link is)?

Yes, it can. It can burn to a i.Link or USB2 external DVD burner.

The manual for the DCR-PC350 talks about creating a DVD (Direct Access to “Click to DVD”); to use their words.

They say you need a vaio computer with “Click to DVD Ver. 1.2” (sony origional software) installed.  If it is possible to either:
    1)install a dvd-rw
or
    2)preferably(for cheaper and a 2nd drive) purchase an i.LINK external dvdrw drive

...maybe you have some other ideas where the software is concerned…
thanks:-)

1. Yes, but expensive to do so and not covered by warranty.

2. If you want to stick with an all Sony setup then yes, you can buy their drive and everything should work as their manual states.

In terms of creating DVDs, there are plenty of other programs although I haven’t used Click to DVD so I don’t know how it compares. Another popular and easy to use program is Sonic’s MyDVD.
