Question

Which is better, MiniDVD or MiniDV?

Answer 1

I disagree. MiniDV is by far better, but its not harder to work with. If you can handle putting a tape in a vcr, you can handle putting a tape in a video camera. Just don't push the of the cassette that says in big letters 'DO NOT PUSH" and you will be ok.

Answer 2

If you're asking for quality:

MiniDV by far. MiniDVD doesn't even compare with HDD...and that's terrible too.

As for which one works better, MiniDVD does...MiniDV of course always has that chance that you put it in slightly askew and it jams the slot. At least MiniDVD you open the thing by a lever whilst MiniDV actually has an entire mechanism which gears it out.

Answer 3

You should know this if you are looking for a videocamera. Mini DV has a better quality.

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….

Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder.

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.
