Hi,

I've just bought a Lite-on DD-A110 DVD recorder to archive my Mini-DV
tapes onto DVD.

Would there be any difference in quality if I connect my Sony HC35E
camcorder via AV composite video, as opposed to connecting with a
firewire cable?

I've also read somewhere that not all Sony camcorders work with a
firewire connection to a DVD recorder.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

Thanks,

Derek

Yes a big diff. in quality: AV is VHS quality (around 280 lines) Mini-DV is
720 x 586 (I think) that is more than 500 lines.
Never tried to connect a Sony camcorder to a DVD recorder, but if both units
are equiped with a true firewire connectors; see no reason why Sony
camecorder (who developped the fire-wire system) wouild not work.
