CNET Review
The Good: Simple, self-contained video-to-DVD conversion; easy setup; comprehensive software bundle; fast movie burning.
The Bad: Other drives offer better data read/write performance.
The Bottom Line: HP's innovative DVD Movie Writer dc3000 offers an easy route from VHS to DVD, and it's a decent burner to boot.
