| If your camera really is a mini-dv, to get the images onto the computer, you usually need a firewire connection, many newer computers, especially Macs have them. Sometimes they do work with USB too. Read the handbook or go to the camera maker's website, you should be able to download a handbook. If you want to, you can edit the movies and make a dvd all on the computer, if it's set up for it. Something like Windows Movie Maker or iMovie for the mac. If you don't want to edit, then a DVD recorder will be the simplest, and you can use it like a vcr to record tv etc. Most these days have a built-in hard drive too, so you can make multiple disks of the same thing. Apart from Sony, many other makers produce dvd recorders now. You will want to make sure you get one with a firewire jack so you can connect that way, it's the best and simplest, only one cable required. |
