Hi
I would also recommend a HDV camcorder with tape.
The reason is:
Only HDV camcordes can record in HD and can do the downconversion to SD. The AVCHD camcorders with harddisk can only record EITHER...
Hi
Check out the Canon HV30 or the successor model HV40.
The HV30 is about $600.
It is a HDV model(tape) with firewire and has mic-in,av-in and headphone connecor.

Hi
Best would be to buy a tape based HDV camcorder like the canon HV40 or its predecessor model HV30 because these are one of the very few models that also have an analogue input.
I have a Panasonic SDR-S100 camcorder which records the mod files onto SD card. I don't know how your JVC cam behave but on my S100 every new day when I start to record it creates a new folder on the...
Hi forocomic
In Version 1.9986beta when the key modify_sde was introduced the default value was 2. Now, in the latest Version 1.9997beta the default value is 1. It is recommended to use default value...
Hi
The cheapest solution I know is to use the two freewares pvastrumento and cuttermaran.
Cuttermaran is a mpeg2 cutting and joining sw, unfortunately it requires the mpeg2 source files split in...
Unfortunately I don't have any experiences with Vista or Windows7.
In general SDcopy.exe can be put into any folder on your harddisk. It only requires to have the file MPEG2Lib.dll in the same folder...
Hi
As you have already mentioned converting mod/mpeg files to DV-AVI takes some time. Usually you have a lot of mod files from your camcordfer so if a mod/AVI converter does not support a "batch...

Hi
I would stay with miniDV, all other formats can make problems on a Mac.
For $450 you could get the Panasonic GS320 but it doesn't have a mic-in jack. If you can afford it, get the Canon HV30(or...
Hi
To my knowledge the SR37 creates mpeg2 files not avi files.
To merge avi files you could use the freeware virtualdub.
To merge mpeg2 files either use one of the freewares cuttermaran and...
Hi
To have a short DVDauthoring time, your camcorder should already generate the fileformat that a DVD needs. This is mpeg2.
Most non-HD camcorder that record to harddisk or memorycards generate...
Hi
I don't have this camcorder but I think this 4GB limitation comes from the FAT32 format of the SD card.
You could try to format the card with NTFS instead but I doubt that the camcorder will...
Hi
With a DV port you can not digitize an analogue video signal into digital format. Instead you can connect devices like camcorders to that port to transfer the digital footage of the tape to a file...
Hi Seaking
Unfortunately I neither have Vista nor Windows7 operating system so I don't have any experiences with them.
However, I was told by another user that in Windows7 the new Windows Media...
Hi
You should go for the miniDv format, the tiny digital tapes.
A suitable model would be the Panasonic GS90, is available for $199 at phphoto.com.
However, if you can afford it then you should go...
Hi
All HDV camcorders like your HV30 can do an internal downconversion from HD to SD. So you can always record in HD and decide afterwards whether the camcorder should output the footage in SD or HD....
Hi
I have a SDR-S100 which records to MOD files like your H200.
I use my own tool sdcopy to convert/rename from MOD to MPG.
Then I use Magix Video Deluxe 15( Magix Movie Edit Pro in the US) to edit...
How do you play the MPGs on your PC?
What player software are you using? Does it support the mpeg2 format?
One player that definitly supports mpeg2 is VLC(freeware), have you already tried VLC?
Can...
Well, we need to know how good the video quality is because that was Samsung's big weakness in the past.
Better a tired wrist but better video perfomance than the opposite.
Hope ccinfo will bring out...
