| Getting miniDV video onto PC.. I am a noob at this and want to become pro. I have tons of home videos recorded onto minidv tapes. How do i get them onto my hard-drive? I have a firewire cable. What program and how? And when it is on my PC will it be the RAW/Original quality ? So then i can delete them off my minidv tape.. anything i should know? Does 1 minidv tape fit on 1 dvd-r?? thanks |

| Re: Getting miniDV video onto PC.. There are dozens of good capture programs for getting the data from your mini-dv tapes to your pc (via firewire). Just choose one. As long as you save as dv-avi file type, the quality will be fine. I would still recommend that you keep your mini-dv tape for history. Mini-dv tapes are very inexpensive. Just buy new blanks.

| Re: Getting miniDV video onto PC.. The method I use is I simply record the DV tape onto a DVD+RW using my DVD recorder. Then I import the video footage from the DVD+RW onto my hard drive. Thereafter into Mpeg video wizard for editing and then Ulead Workshop 2 for making chapters and Menus and Burning. After you have finished you can wipe the DVD+RW and use again (but always keep your original DV master tape).  |
