Samsung Expands its TruDirect Line with DVD Writer

By Niladri Sekhar Nath, TMCnet Contributing Editor

In a bid to expand its TruDirect line of optical disc drives, Samsung (News - Alert) Electronics Company has developed a slim, slot-in external model, the SE-T084M/RSWD. The TruDirect technology allows consumers to create DVDs and burn digital content through a PC without the need for a hard drive.

 

The TruDirect SE-T084M facilitates fast real-time recording of DVDs.

 

"Samsung offers consumers best-of-breed technologies and the new TruDirect SE-T084M continues to lead the pack in ODD innovation,” said Richard Aguilera, national sales manager, Samsung Storage Division. “With its slim and light portable design, the TruDirect SE-T084M lets users easily create DVDs more quickly and conveniently than ever before."

 

The TruDirect SE-T084M reduces the time it takes to create DVDs as no pre-mastering, multiplexing or hard-disk buffering is needed, facilitating real-time and simple recording of personal videos, photos or data files onto DVD discs.

 

Creating a DVD of a one-hour video stream normally takes one hour and five minutes. Whereas, to create a DVD on the TruDirect SE-T084M from a one-hour hard disk drive camcorder file of approximately 4.1GBs just takes 30 minutes.

 

In addition to DVD creation, the TruDirect SE-T084M features fastest speeds of an optical disc drive on the market today. It features 8X DVD+R and DVD-R writing, 6X DVD+R and -R Dual Layer writing, and 5X DVD-RAM writing.

 

Samsung's External TruDirect drive weighs less than one pound and even works without a power cord. To make a DVD movie with TruDirect, users will have to connect a digital video camera to their PC, press 'PLAY' on the camera, click the TruDirect shortcut icon that pops up in the TruDirect program window, and then click the 'RECORD' icon.
