    MiniHDV to DVD recorder

    Posted by Vera Simmonds on April 7, 2011 at 12:45 pm

    Hello there

    I have a daft question:

    I have a miniDV to DVD recorder. I can patch in an miniHDV deck, and record from HDV to DVD… so, can I buy an HDV to DVD recorder? I’ve looked and I can’t find one.

    Thanks

    Hi Vera,

    I wouldn’t expect manufacturers to develop an HDV to DVD deck, not enough demand, and in fact HDV is all but done as tapeless cameras have taken over the market. Not knocking HDV – that is what I use – just saying there are no new tape-based cameras coming out.

    HDV cameras WILL downconvert to DV over the 1394 port, so if your deck has an 1394 input, you can perhaps go from the HDV camera to DVD, or maybe that is what you’re already doing?

    Hey

    Thanks so much for getting back to me. This is what I suspected, I just wondered if there was a nice neat box way of doing it (without the nightmare of cabling etc). No worries.

    Cheers
