Hi Richard,
Thanks for the advice.
I’ve now got my hands on a Sony Digital 8 Handycam DCR-TRV285E
It only has 2 modes — Camera and Play/Edit.
I don’t see anything like “external record control”. In camera mode in the menu it says under ‘tape set’– ‘int. rec’, but no mention of ext. rec.
I need to get my film to another editor in Dubai (I’m in Afghanistan!) and thought that exporting to tape would be easiest/best, but I’m having no luck.
Could you suggest another method?
I’m at a loss and crunched for time!
Thanks!
Charisse
