I have a JVC camcorder that uses mini DV's. The camcorder is in need of repairs that cost more than the camcorder is worth. I plan to simply buy another camcorder(probably not mini DV), but need to find a way to transfer the mini DV's that I have to VHS or DVD without the camcorder as it is not usable. Any suggestions????
I was leaning toward getting a DVD camcorder, but now I'm curious as to why you don't recommend it. I have also looked into the hard drive camcorders, but they are still so new that I'm hesitant. I don't have anything against the mini DV, I'm just tired of accumulating DV's that need to be copied off.
I just don't like the way DVD camcorders work. You have to wait for it to finalize before you can start recording again. Recording time is very limited specially if you want to use highest quality setting. The low quality setting is just what it means...low quality. Then there are compatibility issues.
