is a mini dvd camera worth the buy?

proudmomma

pros? cons? can you play the dvd in your computer disc drive even though they are smaller than a regular disc?

Answer
Hai!

Mini DVD disc camcorder is more of a novelty and not meant as a serious medium (Media) for an avid videographer. (This statement came from my experience, I currently have personally use Hi-8, Digital 8, MiniDV, MiniDVD and Hard-disc camcoder)

Pros:
1. You could play it directly on the DVD Player and PC with 'tray' type drive. But you have to finalised your disc.
2. If you use the DVD-RW, you could also reuse the DVD Over and over again after you 'format' the disc.
3. The size of the Disc is small and you could carry a few of them in your pocket.
4. Quite cheap.
5. Simple and shorter time transfering Video to PC for Editing (compared to MiniDV, 1 hour Video requires 1 hour to capture to PC)
6. If you were to archive DVD, the space required are less than tape and the DVD does not prone to fungus and mold and in theory could be kept over 100years.....
7. You could just forward / backward to the scene you shot without rewinding - fast forward like a tape.

Cons:
1. Limited Recording time, High Quality Mode about 20 Minutes. Normal mode about 30 minutes (Some LP Mode 60minutes - Very poor quality)
2. Prone to scratch and loss of data.
3. Using compression technology, some picture details are lost.
4. Not all video editing software able to accept and import video from DVD.
5. Slower to 'get ready' to shoot your video. It takes longer for your DVD Camcoder to start and ready to shoot your video rather than Tape.

You have to check your DVD player if it is able to play a DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc. Some DVD player can only play DVD-R format but not DVD-RW or +RW.

Those DVD player that 'suck' in the Disc won't be able to play the miniDVD, only the tray type able to play. (The same goes with your PC DVD drive)

I Hope this will help you.

Best Regards.

Camcorder mini-DVDs dont play on regular DVD players?

yjalil

I am a bit of a tech novice, so thi smay be a stupid question. The minin DVDs i recorded on my camcorder play fine in the camcorder, but dont play on DVD players. I was told when i bought the camcorder that mini-DVDs should be playable directly on DVD players. I have tried plugging the mini-DVDs into a few different DVD players which have a 3.5" slot for min DVDs but none of them seem to be able to play these min DVDs. what am i doing wrong?

Answer
If you have a mini dvd camcorderâ¦.
You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.

mini dvd players best buy image

Blake F

using av connection at the back of my tv is it possible to find a cable to fit in those connections then to my iPod so i can play music off my iPod to my tv? I have a mini van with a dvd player and av connections if that would be possible? if so where do i buy these, and could the apple av connections work? thanks alot.

Answer
Well I have the Apple iPod AV cable and an iPod Video, I suppose it must allow you to play music, truthfully I have never tried. This Quote from the Apple site may help you,

"The AV Cable connects to the headphone port of the iPod or the line-out port on the iPod Universal Dock. Perfect for viewing videos and slideshows from the iPod or connect it to a stereo no matter where you take it. Your television must have RCA video and audio input jacks."

Hope this helped!

How do I play a Panasonic Mini DV Video Casette?

Marty M

My instructor took a video of me at football camp on a Panasonic Mini DV Video Casette and I want to play it at home. It says 73.8m, I don't know what that means. Do I need to buy an adaptor for my VHS player? I have a VHS player and a DVD player.

Answer
There is no adaptor for minidv to VHS, minidv is dgital and VHS is analog.
You will either need a minidv camcorder or send the tape off to some one who does video transfer or borrow someone's minidv camcorder. If you can borrow a camcorder, you will need a firewire card installed in your computer and a firewire cord to download the video. You will capture the video, edit it and then burn it to a DVD and then you can watch it in any DVD player.

What type of format does my dvd player need to accept?

mini dvd players best buy image

Momin2005

I need a new dvd player. However, before I buy one I need to be sure that it will play the mini dvd's that my camcorder makes. What format do I have to look for on the specs?

Answer
i think almost any dvd players of today are able to play mini dvds. try checking your pc dvd drive for example, do you see a small circular spot in the middle of the disc tray? if you can find that in a disc tray of a regular dvd player, that means it can play mini dvds. your camcorder formats a recorded video to play on a dvd player, so it should be ok.

How to set up speakers for my media player?

mini dvd players best buy image

Bryan Patr

I have an asus oplay mini and i am thinking of getting either e 2.1 or 5.1 speaker. However I am not sure if I should connect it on my led tv or to the media player itself which has the red white yellow cables.

One more thing is the speaker i was looking are the one's used for desktops or laptops, I can't seem to find the one's that came with bluray or dvd players.

Answer
This is the thing. For most PC speakers, 2.1 speakers are just stereo sepeakers with a subwoofer, they use a crossover to get the bass frequencies from the stereo signal from the stereo signal fed to it. The 5.1 PC speakers do that for stereo input mode. To get actual 5.1 audio, they mostly have discrete 5.1 input , which most modern desktop PCs have. The oplay likely has a digital or optical out, that means you need a separate (not easy to find) Dolby decoder to use with PC 5.1 speakers, and won't get that great of a sound.

Home Theater -in-a-box systems (the ones with a DVD surround in one) often just decode 5.1 from the DVD - the only inputs are stereo, which at best can provide pro-logic surround. The speaers that come with them are made for them as part of a system.

Real surround for other devices is achieved with a surround receiver, which has a decoder, controls, and amplifiers for all the speakers other than the subwoofer, usually. With those, you buy the speakers separately, including an amplified subwoofer.

mini dv or dvd? record, take out the dvd and put it in the dvd player and watch what you recorded?

blondie

Okay. I am truely an electronics dummy. My husband is wanting to buy me a camcorder for my birthday. We just want one for home useage, vacations, holidays and etc. Electronic Express says that with the Mini dv camcorder you can record,
take out the mini dv and put it in your dvd player and watch what you recorded. That is what I want. I dont want to download to my computer or do any editing. Just watch we recorded. So, is Electronic Express telling me the truth or is it just a confusing sales pitch? Please help. I am desperate.

Answer
Mini DV is a cassette, you can not just take it out and put it in your DVD player as...well, it's a tape.

Some newer camcorders record to mini DVD's but they are having problems with this standard due to the fact that if you bump your camcorder or the battery dies while it is recording you'll lose EVERYTHING you recorded.

Most experts agree that while it is cool to use these mini dvd's to just put into a dvd player...it isn't worth the risk of losing your ENTIRE recording for this convince.

Just buy a Mini DV camcorder, ensure it has Video/audio OUTPUTS, all you have to do is hook it up to your TV and boom you can watch it off the Mini DV tape. Not to mention Mini DV tapes cost WAY LESS than DVD's...and can be erased over and over.
