Click to DVD

Have you ever dreamed of taking your homemade videos and creating your own DVD disc? Have you ever dreamed of easily editing your videos and adding messages and background music? How about being able to take your entire videotape library and transferring it over to DVD discs? With Sony's new "Click To DVD" software, all of this and more can be done with a few simple clicks. Using the software, along with the DVD-RW drive on this VAIO desktop, you're only a mouse-click away from creating your own DVD masterpieces. You can connect your Handycam camcorder to your computer with an i.Link cable and download your movie directly to DVD, or go through a simple editing process to add messages or insert still photos. You can even import background music, import multiple videos, and rearrange the order. You can also connect your analog VCR to your VAIO PC, and transfer your old VHS or 8mm video tapes that you have locked away in your closet to DVD so they'll last forever. Creating index pages and photo slideshows are some other options you have at your disposal with this powerful, easy-to-use application.

VAIO Media

VAIO Media is a gateway which allows you to enjoy music, video, and photos through a home networking environment. You can access entertainment data from your VAIO PC to contents such as TV programs, music files, or photo images, all of which are stored on any VAIO PC you designate as the server, either by cable or wireless LAN connections. VAIO Media has an integrated player for music, video and photos. The easy-to-use interface will give you control of the application. You can enjoy listening to music files managed by SonicStage that are stored on this PC, if you designate it as the server. Use your client VAIO PC (such as a Notebook) and play your favorite songs. You can also enjoy viewing your photo collection, managed by PictureGear Studio, in the same networking fashion. VAIO Media also allows you to watch TV programs that you have recorded on this VAIO PC with the built-in Giga Pocket Personal Video Recorder. By selecting the "VIDEO" command with a client VAIO PC such as a notebook computer, VAIO media will show a list of recorded files stored on the server. With one click you will be able to watch what you want from anywhere in your home. Step into the VAIO universe and experience the thrill of true Video Audio Integrated Operation.

Good-Bye VCR

The Giga Pocket Personal Video Recorder included on this amazing machine lets you bid farewell to your old VCR. That's right, no more rewinding and switching video tapes. The Giga Pocket Personal Video Recorder allows you to record and watch your favorite TV programs directly on your computer. Through the computer's connections, you can hook up your TV and record to your computer, where you can easily manage your video collection, watch programs, then delete or save them for future use. Of course, with the DVD-RW drive, you can also record them to DVD, erase them from your computer's memory, and have a copy that will last a lifetime. Giga Pocket power in your PC will change the way you look at TV.

DVD+-RW/CD-RW Drive

The DVD+-RW/CD-RW drive on this VAIO desktop computer gives you the best of both worlds. The DVD-RW drive brings the ability to burn your own DVDs into your home. Included software will help you down the road to creating your own personal DVDs, complete with video footage, music, photos, text, and just about anything else your creativity calls for.
