I have an 8 year old Panasonic miniDV Camcorder that has worked flawlessly until the last couple of weeks. While on vacation, I installed a new Sony mini DV tape (I normally use TDK) and got a "Dew detected" message. The Dew Detected message went away after a day but the video a recorded was pixilated and choppy during playback. I thought a simple head cleaner would do the trick, unfortunately after 3 runs of a TDK head cleaner, the problem still exists on playback of any previously recorded tape. What are my options?

When capturing from a dv-cam that uses mini-dv tape, can i capture faster than real-time, or is it limited to real-time by principle? What?s the limiting factor, is it the drive of the camcorder? or am i just too spoiled by "capturing" cds and dvds?

If I copy a DV movie from digital camera to the hard drive, remove some parts then copy it back to the camera using firewire, is there any loss in quality? I was lead to believe that I could do this once or many times and there would be no loss of quality, but after reading that the video file is compressed on the hard drive (when loading into a video editor), then I'm thinking that there must be some loss of quality.

I have a Sony DVD camcorder that appears to make great movies, but I switched over to mac a long time ago specifically so that I could use the mac movie-editing software, and my camcorder does not appear to be compatible at all: There is no mac software with the camcorder, the camcorder does not have a firewire port, and the USB 2.0 connection is not recognized by iMovie. On the web, people have described the situation as hopeless. Does anyone know a fix or a workaround, so that I do not have to keep buying these expensive Sony mini-DVDs?

I am having trouble capturing video off my new mini dv camera with a IEEE 1394 firewire card. The computer does not see the video camera at all. I used numerous video capturing programs but i get the same result for each. Also, if I start capturing video from the camera and about 20 mins into the recording the recording stops (this it not a power problem, the cam is plugged into the main power). I'm not sure whether its the 1394 card or if its my video camera.
I placed order for the new JVC hard drive camcorder which uses a 30 GB HD instead of tape. I was finally able to download the camera manual and I was surprised that there is no editing possibilities either in camera or on PC. Should I avoid the MPEG-2 format for now and wait until it develops further, or is some reasonably priced software for frame to frame editing?
I actually have 3 questions in one. 1. If I record directly to an off-camera system, such as DV Rack or a hard drive system, will I get a better picture than using a pro miniDV tape? 2. What if I record with a pro camcorder, captured & edited with Vegas then print-to-tape on a cheaper consumer level camera? 3. If footage is captured on a pro camera by firewire to an editor while playing the tape in a cheaper consumer level camera, does this affect the image?
I need to edit some video files I've shot on my camera. The problem is that the camera's video files export as .MOV and I can't find a good entry-level Windows program that supports the file type.

I have a Canon ZR60 camcorder. I have it hooked into iMovie on a G5 iMac. I am trying to record directly from the camcorder into the Mac, but I'm having some problems. My picture is grainy, and my microphone on the camera doesn't seem to be picking me up very well. And my camera shuts itself off after a period of inactivity, but I know that is just a fault in the camera. So do I need a microphone, a new camcorder, or some other solution I am missing?

As you may know, a digital SLR camera does not have live video. This means that you cannot look at the screen to take a picture, you have to look through the viewfinder instead. I have heard that there are 1 or more companies that make a "video camera" that attaches to the viewfinder of the SLR camera. Then you attach the SLR camera to a Television screen. This action then lets you have "live video" with a digital SLR. Is there a real product that does this?
