I have a nice analog JVC camcorder. I know this camera cost about $700 back
in 2001. Its okay, and certainly captures far superior video than any Palm
Pilot, cell phone or digital camera. But anyways it uses VHS-C tapes, which
can be easily played on my VCR with a VHS adaptor. Since VHS tapes are fear
cheaper than VHS-C, I think I want to give people tapes rather than VHS-C
tapes. But I am afraid, if I do this, and then erase over the VHS-C tape,
the quality will deteriate. This seems to be what happens in many, but not
all tapes. Will VHS-C have this effect, or will it not?
Okay on to primary question.
One day when I get the money I will buy myself a digital camcorder that will
use Mini DV, DVD, or a hard drive.
Does anyone have a digital camcorder and what are your experiences with it
on your Macs? Can it play full frame video on your Mac? I cant imagine the
file sizes of such video, and in my case there is no way such video would
fit on my dinky 30GB hard drive, with only 6GB free on my ibook G4. I think
I would need to attach my USB 2.x 80GB drive.
With digital tapes, DVD's or hard drives, can you erase and the record over
without a lowering of quality?
Thanks,
John
PS- My JVC will work for a while, and I am not in a hurry to replace it,
but perhaps one day it might be wise to get a smaller digital camcorder. I
sure do hope the quality of these smaller digital camcorders, is camcorder
quality, and not lame digital camera video quality. My JVC will floor my
Kodak anyday for video.
