Remember it’s all digital video… only 1 (ones) and 0 (zeros) in an elementary sequence that defines the recording … if another camera, no matter the size and specs can read those bits, it will be transfered to your system exactly the same as recorded … “capturing” digital video is more like “copying” bits from the tape to your HDD….
good luck
