Global and regional digital leader LG Electronics has unveiled the new LG DR4812W DVD recorder in the Middle East. The DVD recorder has a slim design with multi-format recording making digital video creation extremely simple, even for first-time users. The model has connections for component, digital and video.

The software lets users transfer video footage to their PCs to create professional-quality videos and presentations on DVD. With a single user interface for video capturing, authoring and editing, only a few steps are needed to create a digital video from start to finish.
"The new LG DVD recorder offers the customer endless possibilities when it comes to creating a personal audio and video collection. It is compatible with all DVD recordable media and users do not have to worry about -RW media or +RW media," said P C Choi, President, LG Electronics Gulf FZE.
The model is Macrovision enabled and has been commended for its capability, ease of use with multiple media formats and competitive prices.
