Hitachi invented the first DVD camcorder in 1999. The draw of Hitachi DVD camcorders is their ability to record video directly to a DVD disc (8 centimeters in size) and play that disc back on home DVD players. Not only is this method of storing memories on DVD easy to playback, it also ensures the quality of the digital recording will remain for years to come.
