JVC CU-VD40 Share Station DVD Burner for HD Everio Camcorders

This unit PROBABLY doesn't do what you think it does. If you read the website and the box, it looks like you can shoot wonderful HD movies, push a button and voila! a DVD pops out and you can SHARE it with friends and family. Notice it is called the "Share Station"! NOT the unit spits out a DVD that "cannot be played on normal DVD players" (page 47 of the manual). This unit is simply an ARCHIVAL unit. It takes whats in your camera and backs it up to a DVD. Thats it. Call JVC and verify it.

The sharestation is probably the worst piece of equipment I have ever purchased. Worked when it wanted to the first couple of months, now it doesn't work at all. I have always liked JVC products but after this dreadful experience, I am gonna have to think long and hard before I buy ANYTHING from JVC. This item will not recognize ANY disc, even the ones I made with it

Buy JVC CU-VD40 Share Station DVD Burner for HD Everio Camcorders Now

I recently bought a JVC sharestation, to go along with the JVC Everio camera I just bought. You are supposed to be able to connect the camera to the sharestation, and start burning DVD's. Sounds great! Every disk I have used creates the error message "Incompatible disk". I am not alone, only now I find out that hundreds of other people are also unable to use the device that they just paid $200 or more for. JVC is not acknowledging the problem. I don't know how JVC can get away with this!

Read Best Reviews of JVC CU-VD40 Share Station DVD Burner for HD Everio Camcorders Here

I purchased the camera and the share station. I took family video and tried to burn to a dvd. The DVD provided by JVD wouldn't work. It kept saying 'incompatable disc' so I purchased the DVD-R by Sony (recommended in their manual) and it still says 'incompatable disc'. I called the JVD Help Center and they said...you have to send it to the factory. No help at all....just send it in. Don't buy this piece of junk.

Want JVC CU-VD40 Share Station DVD Burner for HD Everio Camcorders Discount?

Well, I read many poor reviews on the internet about the product, and the reviewer is correct, this is an archival unit only, and won't generate a DVD that can be played on anything other than the JVC ShareStation. Unfortunately, I had already purchased a $1600 JVC camcorder which I could not return due to it having 5 hours of footage of my new baby (which I can't get off of it) on its HDD. So, I went ahead and purchased with these limitations in mind.

Unfortunately, when the unit arrived, it was defective. Won't recogonize any disc of any type. Even the disc supplied by JVC in the packaging showed up as "incompatible disc."

If you have already purchased the camcorder, you may also be stuck purchasing this unit; however, if you have not yet purchased a camcorder, I would strongly consider another brand.

See ya!
