What Kind of Camcorder Should Be Used For HD ?

The best camcorder to use for recording high definition is probably the type that uses built-in hard drives for storage. HD video requires a lot more space than regular video and these camcorders can store up to 240 gigabytes of video. By adding memory card technology to the hard drive camcorder, one would be prepared for emergencies in case the video goes pass hard drive capacity. The advantage of the hard drive camcorder is the ability to immediately transfer files to a computer for editing by using USB or FireWire connectivity.


Which one is better for video capturing from miniDV camcorder DV card or TV card or USB?

MiniDV video is captured to a computer in real-time as it is played back on the camcorder. A Firewire DV card is by far the best to use, it was designed for video and has a vary high transfer rate, make sure your camera has firewire, a lot of time it is marked as DV out. You can also add a firewire card to your computer fairly easily. Search for 'PCI firewire card' for desktop computers and "PCMCIA firewire card' USB won't work because the transfer rate is not fast enough. Another option is to use a professional video transfer service. They use super high quality audio cables that connect miniDV decks to high quality video cards directly. This would get you the best quality. StashSpace.Com offers this transfer service for $6.95 a tape.
