Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)OK, I duplicate more than the average number of DVD's in a year at home - legally, I should add. Vacation photos, home movies, business records, and so on. For example - when we get home from vacation I upload all the media to iPhoto. I can produce the DVD with iDVD, overlaying a soundtrack with some music and comments on the photos. I'll generate a couple of dozen for my folks, sibs and friends, that will be popped into the mail, and then I'll stash some away for the future, when I or my kids are in a sentimental mood. Come the holidays, I'll send a home movie with greetings in the Christmas cards. I keep my home office records on DVD, too, as well as incremental backups of the HD, so I duplicate a backup copy of them, just to maintain a low paranoia titre. It adds up - maybe 30 or so a month. 'Till recently, the DVD recorder internal to my computer was working way overtime, so after some thought I convinced my wife to let me invest in a Primera Pro Publisher. All I can say is, Wow!
The device itself is a little bigger than a desktop inkjet printer. Installation is easy: remove the packing material, install the printer cartriges, connect the cable to your computer and run the installation software (both Mac and PC are supported) - that's it. Load the blanks on the right, and boot Discribe, the included software, You can burn data or media discs, CD's and DVD's, from images or hardcopy. The onboard printer will add a professional-looking face to it. (I suggest the OEM software Disclabel to design disc and case covers.) Tell the robot how many copies to make and offit goes. The software is mostly bulletproof, but occasionally, I've found it stallsa and burps at me, mostly from my own ignorance. After a couple of runs, it is pretty straightforward. I can run off about 10 discs in an hour, using both drives.
The Primera Pro is really good at what it does. Discs are checked for errors, and it supports most media types, includeing DVD+, DVD- and DL discs. I expect that Primera will support blueray and HD when the drives become more available. I haven't had any trouble with rejected media, nor with DVD players fussing about the quality of the recording. After a couple of months using it, I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I can't tell you about service, because I haven't had any problems, but there is an optional 1-year replacement plan that costs about $250, that seems like a reasonable investment. Construction is good, so I don't recommend the ruggedized model, but definately consider the Pro over the one-drive models - the robot is smart enough to use both drives so big jobs are done in half (or less) the time.
I haven't any real criticisms, but I would like Primera to divulge a replacement cassette for the printer - it looks suspiciously like an HP cartridge, but I don't know for sure. I really would like to refil the cartridges myself.
For the small video/picture production house, the Primera is ideal. A photographer can shoot a wedding, upload the pictures edit them, and produce a professional-looking VCD or DVD that can be put in the couples hand before they go on their honeymoon.
I anticipate the disc will be with us for anouther five or ten years before it is replaced by another technology (presumably with no moving parts). Until that happens, The DVD will be with us, and I strongly recommend the Primeara Pro to the user who is involved in DVD production or duplication.
