Yup. The only problem I had on the first Vaio was making sure I had the right media. The earlier Vaio DVD burner only accepts DVD-R's so that took some time but it seems to work fine.

Right on the front and the back of the Vaio are RCA inputs along with S-Video inputs. It's really nice so far.

If the replacement system doesn't work, I guess I will have to get what you have. It really burns me to have nothing to show for a half year of frustration.

I use a standalone DVD recorder and all is good :)
Plus I can record movies off the Dish right to DVD-R or DVD-RAM

So do you use the pre-installed software that comes on the VAIO? I am a new VAIO owner. I was lured by all the claims of easy DVD making from analog but frankly I am very confused as I am not a high level computer user. Please give me any tips you can!
