I am not familiar with these computer DVD burning programs but with my stand alone DVD burners I must "Finalize" a DVD after it is burned, before it will play in a DVD player. Are you sure your...
I have never tried it so I don't know. I thought that you could download stills from the memory card using the USB port but like I said, I have never tried it. My Sony computer has a Memory Card...
My advice is to take the old Panasonic on your trip to capture your memories. Why open a new can of worms and risk "not capturing" those memories?
1. You don't say the old one is broken.
2. You...
There was only the DCR-TRV740 as far as I know. I have no idea why they added the REC after that model number. If you want to see all of the TRV740 features look at the spreadsheet near the top...
Back when this thread was first started I searched my tape suppliers for 8mm cleaning tapes but I only found Exabyte 8mm cleaning tapes. I think this is some sort of computer back-up device and I...
To me it is pointless to be looking for a specific make or model camcorder if price is the main object. Just look for a MiniDV camcorder at your local garage sales, pawn shops, Goodwill and...
Thank You photobob, your comments are much appreciated. I have been totally distracted this past week. My chest freezer failed last Tuesday and I have been cleaning up the mess and shopping for...
I moved your post photobob because the TRV240 is a Digital8 camcorder. Usually this behavior is caused by poor signal strength being read by your rotating heads from the tape. Dirty heads might...
Just to clarify, I doubt that Sony made a DCR TVR320. They did make a DCR TRV320 but it was a Digital8 camcorder, not a MiniDV camcorder. Digital8 camcorders ceased production several years ago. ...
One additional thought. There may be issues between video standards. The USA uses the NTSC standard. I think Australia uses some form of PAL? This used to be a big issue before the...
In the USA the common wall receptacles are still 60 Hz, 120 VAC. Every camcorder I have seen has a universal power supply that will handle 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz. I think that range will cover...
My grandfather came over on a boat from Denmark around 1900 but I have never been there. As far as I know, region coding only applies to pressed DVD's, the kind you buy or rent that contain...
Work for the joy of doing it, remembering the good times of the memories, even if the happy marriages of yesterday are now broken on the back of misery. Down any other path lies despair and...
The #2 sticky at the top of this forum which has the Excel spreadsheet, should give most of the information on how the 340 differs from the 320 and 720. I would have expected the opposite results. ...
I used to think a lot about archiving video but I don't anymore. The weddings I put my heart and soul into ended in divorce and neither party now gives a rip about the video or all the effort I put...
I am not giving up on tape. My plan is to have multiple camcorders or VCR's in the same format as my tapes. I have 30+ year old VHS tapes that still play fine. I have 4 Digital8 camcorders...
I probably don't anymore than you do about the cure for this problem. I always thought that the same heads were used for both digital and analog recordings but I could be wrong.
I think all Sony computers came with firewire ports but Sony pretty much got out of the computer business a few years ago. Just look at your computer. If you don't have any jacks labeled...
Thanks TS for your kind comments. Yes, I stopped posting at AVS because I felt my views were attacked several times by paid MPAA lobbyists that troll every recorder forum. They are paid to steer...
I haven't looked at camcorders for a couple of years but since the introduction of Mini-DV and Digital8 camcorders, "firewire" has been the only digital interface. USB was too slow to carry all of...
I probably shouldn't reply here but I have burned many DVD-R's from Digital8 camcorders which produces identical digital video to Mini-DV. But I don't use a computer. I use Panasonic DVD...
Apparently I haven't been here for 3 or 4 weeks. My 1999 minivan burst a head gasket and my bathroom sink flooded my bathroom due to a faulty hot water shut-off valve. Things are breaking faster...
It's hard to say which way will produce the best audio. It all depends on which has the best audio circuitry and the least worn audio head. My guess is that it would be a tie. The camcorder...
I don't think there is an automatic correct choice here. The best thing to do is to run your own tests and see which way produces the best results. If I were you I would try 3 different tests:
