You can have a rm10k viewcam(considered high end) but when don't have enough lights, the quality might lose to a rm2k viewcam with the help of external lights.

Hi
I'm using canon mvx200i. I couldn't transfer my video to computer.
I'm wondering is using firewire 4pins and 6pins will make any difference?
I only have firewire 4pins at my computer. So, I just only try to connect my video camera (4pins) to my computer (4pins) and it doesn't work as well. No detection from computer (video camera software has been installed).

Can anyone help me to solve?
Thank you

what's the resolution like when shooting in movie mode?

Hi dayalan86,

I read the thread & nobody answered your question on why your camcorder head gets dirty after just 2 hours of shooting. These are the reasons I suspect for the problem.

1) If you're using different brands (Fuji, Panasonic, Sony, Canon, etc) of miniDV tapes to record in the same camcorder, chances are that the lubricants from each of the different tapes you're using is really messing up the recording head & making it dirty fast. Only Sony miniDV tapes use a wet type of lubricant when the tape is being recorded by a camcorder. All other tape brands use dry lubricants. However, many videographers I know mentioned to me that Panasonic tapes give the best quality footage as they were really designed for miniDV cameras. So my advice is pick a tape brand & stick with it throughout.

2) Very rarely does the tape head go dirty after just 2 hours. Perhaps the recording head itself may have been scratched. You may need to take in to an authrised service center to get the recording head checked. My camcorder can easily shoot for up to a few hundred hours before it requires cleaning.

3) Shooting environment - What environment are you shooting your videos in mostly? Is it in outdoor, dusty, hot & humid conditions? This can quickly contribute to dust particles gettting lodged inside the recording head giving result to those horizontal lines you mentioned.

Hope this helps.

hello guys .. i need your opinions about this 2 camcorder .. one is the sony dvd camcorder and the other one is jvc everio 30gb hdd camcorder .. which one do u guys think the best and worth the money ..

read my first page post.

anybody mind to share their technics and software from DV to DVD conversion

Pinnacle Studio Plus, the best is use V9.4.3, don't use V10.++. My AMD 64 3000+ can run it stablely but not V10.++. Pinnacle's product is a well known video editing product with problem, but it is good for its Hollywood FX. I can only says that V9.4.3 is more stable than V10.++, using it to create a 1 hour DVD needs only 7hours while V10.++ required >10hours(start the project, go to work and come back still processing) and when finished, green screen only comes out. I like it is because it can split the video footage every time we press the pause or record button. It is easy to make chapters on DVD. I have used Sony Vegas(older version) and some other programs(forgot the name already) but I feel that Pinnacle is more easy to use(user friendly) despite of it will crash easily.

Does anyone know where's the best place to get Panasonic mini DV tapes for cheap ?
