Can I use Video 8 tape in my Sony Digital 8 camera? Are there any issues? Beemer

Just out of interest, I wondered how much it would probably cost to hire a filmographer (don't know if that is the correct descriptor?) to film a wedding perhaps in Hi-Def mini-dv format? I was thinking of arranging this as a gift (it's my sister getting married) but I probably wouldn't be able to afford anyway. When I eventually settle down and get married I would definitely have my own...

I have a JVC GR DV4000 and I want to get an external mic. The original MZ-V5 or MZ-V3 are probably the best choice, but they are a bit hard to come by and also perhaps a bit over my budget, so I was wondering if it is possible to get a generic microphone that will fit in the shoe - and if so, which is the best buy?

Yesterday I bought a used Sony DCR-TV245E. Question 1 - Page 79 of the manual says In the wide mode: The Steadyshot does not work. If you set the wide mode described below in the menu settings when the Steadyshot is working, the indicator flashes and the Steadyshot does not function 16:9 WIDE to ON

This is again a question about avi files. I never thought that it is another one of such messy thing that we created. I tried to open an avi file in my PC using different versions of Windows Media Players, and they did not recognized it. When I checked the internet, I found out that there are different versions of avi which are exceptable to different version of computers. What a mess. It is...

I have been pointed to this newsgroup with this question. Please have pity on a beginner. What I'm trying to do is to take in video and audio from a VHS video and record it straight into a PC. If that works, I have another project for which I'd like to take in the video via the s-video input on the camcorder and audio via the composite input and interleave these within the camcorder then...

In terms of picture quality, can the cheapest HD (£300) match budget DVs (£200) -indoor and out, -good and low light? or is it up to individual taste? Secondly as HD camcorders use USB, does this mean there is no loss of quality when transfered to PC for editing?

I ave a few tapes taken of a play with no break. 3 for each act over an hour each. I can't find an option in Premiere Elements 3 to force a new avi every x minutes when capturing from a camcorder. I have a feeling there is one in Pinnacle but I don't want to load that onto my PC as it used to muck up my settings. I have found some software on the web to split the file after capture but I...

Hi I've managed to use AVI2DVD and DVDFlick to convert a number of AVI files to DVD. However, on one of the AVI files (which plays fine on my PC) when I convert it to DVD format the sound goes out of sync half way through and in AVI2DVD the video starts going at double speed with the sound being normal and in DVDFlick the video goes at normal speed but the sound goes at half speed. Does...

Hello Commonly, would it be possible to transfer a recorded material from a miniDV camcorders to my Pioneer DVR-645H-S wich is equipped with hard drive? And if yes, would there be any quality compromises, since I would transfer from a tape onto a hard drive? This recorder has a DV terminal IEEE1394.

Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 won't edit Nokia N93 MP4 clips. The suggested solution is to convert them to another format for editing. Can anyone suggest a suitable converter and destination format? Thanks, Ian
