I have a Sony HDR-HC3 HiDef Camcorder and use a Playstation 3 to view my HD films on TV. Using media sharing I can copy relatively small videos to the Playstation, after editing with Sony Vegas Studio Platinum 8.0.However I am now at the stage where I have larger video files, and I would like to burn them to BluRay disks.

I have seen a LG external Blu Ray burner device,but it needs a very demanding PC spec - ie RAM 1 GB or more, and a SATA connection (?). My Acer Aspire 1801 laptop does not meet the spec, so will not be able to use the burner.

Is the best answer to purchase a Sony Vaio laptop,with built-in burner and use that exclusively for Video Editing and Blu Ray burning ?

Do any members have any experience of using the Sony Vaio or any other advice they can offer me ?

Many Thanks,
Peter Stevenson
