Hi,

I have an early model of JVC miniDV camcorder. It does not have a Firewire
output. So what I need is a player that basically outputs in Firewire 1394
mode.

Which is the cheapest one?

Thanks a lot,
Srikanth

The cheapest DV-VCR I know of is the MiniDV/Super VHS Dual VCR street priced
about $1400.00 to $1500.00 or you can go with the less expensive Sony
GV-D300 DV Walkman for around $1000.00. With a thousand dollar to spend may
as well buy another camera.

I too think I may as well go for a new one. Thanks anyway.

I bought the Sony GV-D300 to use while scanning and choosing clips for
capture as I did not want to put that kind of back and forth strain on
my camera.

As I learned more, I discovered that the best way for me (so far) is
to capture the whole tape at once (using seamless capture with the
Raptor) and then in Premiere I can pick my in and out points at will
and import them into the timeline. This way I only have to use the
deck once and all other operations are done off of the hard drive
which makes it much quicker and I do not have to worry about head
wear.

In retrospect, I wish I had put the money into a new camera. I love
the Optura but would like a three chip 1/2" CCD :)
