Looking like a cross between the PlayStation 2 and the iPod, the Sony VRD-MC1 has a polished, glossy exterior complemented perfectly by a 2-inch color LCD screen that displays the menu options and other useful information. Menu options include creating a photo DVD, video DVD, previewing a DVD and printing. However, note that the preview function works only with a DVD created by the VRD-MC1. Weighing around 1.7kg, the VRD-MC1 is not exactly the most portable writer around, especially since its dimensions are none too modest as well at 8.7 x 8.0 x 2.6-inches. There's no carrying case either, which should be a clear hint that external doesn't necessarily equate to portable.
