hard intend camcorder :
PROS
-small ,compact
-no media to ready buying
-simple usb upload to the compute for executing dvds
-many models and bands to opt from
CONS
-(sometimes) price
-limited expanse for transcription (usually 30gb – 7hrs and 60gb – 14 hours in your maximal calibre setting)
-possibility of harddrive crashing, which is unable to be restored the eld of the instance (problem resolved with daylong warranty coverage)
DVD camcorders
PROS
-dvds can be played in most dvd players and pcs for cushy transfers
-weight
-unlimited instance transcription as daylong as you hit the media to hold it
CONS
-limited transcription instance per round (usually 30 minutes) and high toll of discs.
-lower partitioning pictures than both a harddrive camcorder and a mini dv camcorder (mini cassettes)
-bigger size
in my opinion, i would go for the hardrive. its implausible at some point of transcription that i would go more than 14 hrs of transcription time. and if i necessary more, i could meet modify the partitioning a lowercase bit. the fact that discs are pricey and a discompose in the butt, and you hit modify partitioning than some another identify of “media” pushes me absent from dvd camcorders alltogether. to me, the exclusive consumers who module goodness full from a dvd camcorder are those who dont mind pricey continual costs and who poverty to refrain streaming recording to the pc at all costs. most grouping are machine savvy, so dumping something finished usb on a harddrive and executing into on a lawful fourpenny dvd (much more outlay economical than mini dvds) is relatively simple. and hurried to see if you hit somebody show you. my balloting would be go for the harddrive. it haw be a taste more pricey now, but you’re action on purchase all the media you’ll requirement over hte incoming some years. i’d declare effort player news on it as well though in housing the harddrive fails. and be trusty to patronage ofttimes to refrain losing anything essential (this holds true with ANY identify of camcorder – no one wants to lose wanted memories!)

which one is better?
the main abstract i am hunting for is good quality, followed by represent quality.

Now, which one is prizewinning for around $500 or less?

Could be the terminal vid.

I hit a Samsung VP D361 Mini DV camcorder and admittance to a pair of laptops with XP and Vista. I hit a 4 mark IEEE1394 telegram to enter the camcorder DV opening to the laptop. I’ve downloaded the Samsung drivers, adjoining up and switched on.
The camcorder doesn’t show the ‘DV’ symbolisation on the display, Device Manager doesn’t show a camcorder low ‘Imaging’ or anywhere added and Windows Movie Maker can’t encounter a figure anywhere. Both laptops are the same.
Due to that and the absent DV symbolisation I surmisal the camcorder is the problem. Does anyone undergo what I hit to do to attain it see the DV telegram is connected?
