    I have a project in Media Composer on a laptop with the media on a firewire drive. Can I output from the avid into the HVX200 on to a Mini-DV tape using the firewire connection on the camera?

    Yes – as far as I know (never tried it.)

    Set the camera in deck mode on the switch on the back of the HVX… then make sure the input is set to firewire input. You might be able to control the deck from your computer once the firewire is connected. If not, then I’d add 20 sec. or so of black at the head of your show… start it playing on your PC, then hit record on the HVX (I’m guessing you use the record button under the handle.)

    Keep in mind that I’ve never done this, and I do not have my camera in front of me – so this might be only partially correct (and completely frustrating.)

    Good luck,
    Tony

    I don’t know about Avid, but in PP2, one just uses the ‘export to tape’ feature. I’ve done this to MiniDV on my HVX200, with full deck control from the computer, so I KNOW the camera is capable of it. If that’s any help.
