Product Description From Hitachi:

These camcorders record directly on to a DVD disc so you can access instantly any scene on the disc, resulting in savings endless hours of rewinding and fast-forwarding. This camcorder can fit into your pocket, similar to a traditional size still camera. You even have a choice as to how you record your memories.With the introduction of the world's first DVD camcorder, Hitachi has advanced the world of home video recording. In fact, Hitachi won an Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for this accomplishment. Instead of tape, the DVD Camcorder records to an 8cm optical DVD disc. It automatically writes to blank areas of the disc, with no worry of accidental erasure. You have direct access to any scene or still photo on the disc-no frantic fast-forwarding or rewinding to play back what you've just recorded.

DVD-RAM allows you to record and erase scenes on a disc as many as 100,000 times, about average for most doting dads. Each recording is stored as a scene that you can edit, apply special transitions to, and compile with other scenes into custom playlists. All performed within the camera.You can even record in DVD-R, a write-once format, so you can remove the disc from the camera and play it back on your home DVD player.
