USb streaming has a low framerate and will always cause jerkey video. USB streaming is meant for use as a webcam, not for capturing high quality video. You should be using firewire if quality is...

This camcorder has 16:9 mode as a digital effect. Basically, this just means that it puts black bars over the top and bottom of the video. This does not gain any resolution and in fact actually loses...

Yes, magnetic tape has been used for a long time (as I said). However, digitally recorded information should last longer before changing than analog information. Also, even though magnetic tapes have...

MiniDV is still fairly new (10 years), so it may be that it isn't long enough for them to be sure how long the tapes last. Although, I would think that the tapes are similar to tapes that had been...

Dennis (or anyone), does this apply to playing back the tape as well? I assume the head is still in contact with the tape for playback?

A firewire port looks like a USB port in some ways, but it is not the same connection.

Are you sure it is a Hi8 camcorder? I have never heard of a Hi8 camcorder with usb before. Look for a port on the camera that says "DV" on it, if it has one all you need is a firewire cable. If it...

You will need to "rip" the DVD into an AVI or an MPEG and then put it in. There are guides to doing this on the internet, I have never done it sucessfully :mad: so I can't help you beyond that.

Its been a while since I have used Premier, but what you are saying should work. Premier is quite good with interlaced video, but if you have any problems you might have to deinterlace the video...

This is a limitation of the camcorder's memory rather than a software/firmware limitation. It can not be fixed. I don't see why anyone would want to record to the memory card anyway, it has much...

While we are on this topic, is it true that it is bad for the quality if you record over a MiniDV tape more than a few times?

Canon has some cheap cameras in its ZR series, I think they all have video inputs. They are the cheapest I have seen in Canada.

A Digital8 camcorder might also work, if it doesnt have to be MiniDV.

Being Canadian, I forgot about that site (Its US only). It is also not as smooth and fast when you are zooming or panning, but it does let you zoom in a lot more.

I think those spammers just copy and paste anything they can to get past spam filters. It sucks but I don't think there is anything camcorderinfo can do about it.
