While Toshiba’s bold challenge with HD DVDs against Blu-Ray has been a debated failure, this HD DVD Burner will burn both HD DVDs and regular DVDs.  The burner is intended to be an accessory device for other Toshiba’s product lines such as the Gigashot series of HD cameras.  Because of this intention, this HD DVD Burner can be directly connected to the camcorder or camera without transferring the files on to a computer and then burning the disk via software on the PC.

The device has the AV input ports (red, white, and yellow) to connect to any recording device.  If that is not the route you want to take, the device is easily accessible and perfectly capable to be connected to a PC through a USB port, and will write on single-layered DVD-R disks.  The device comes with a remote control that allows users to control the DVD player more conveniently when watching the content of the DVD, and the device runs on an AC adapter.

Other than its functionalities and convenience of direct connection to recording devices, the Toshiba Gigashot HD DVD Writer has a sleek and modern design.  The light weight and compact size allows it to be easily carried around for immediate burning and transferring of photos and movies from digital cameras and camcorders without the help of personal computers.  Also, because it can be directly connected to outputs as TVs, the HD DVD Burner can also act as a DVD player to playback the content of the disk.
