Rewritable DVD+RW or mini DVD?

Question

which one is better for uploading footage to an editing software? i think mini dvd is more a hassle and dvd is just easy since you could put it in the dvd drive? thanks for your time. i have a dcr dvd 108 sony camera.

Answer 1

Rewritable DVD+RW is an example of mini DVD - they're exactly the same where editing is concerned.  MiniDV is no more of a hassle (how hard is it to plug a cable in?) and gives far better results.

Answer 2

Both are a hassle and poor quality video - use miniDV tape over firewire - there's a reason why the pros continue to use it - best available video quality.

Too bad you already bought the camcorder... Download and install HandBrake and rip the video.

How much space do you need on your CD?
