MiniDV to DVD deck?

topic posted Thu, March 1, 2007 - 11:00 AM by  em
Am I really lame or have they not created a product that will take actual MiniDV tapes and convert them to DVDs in one deck? I can't find this product anywhere and I'd like to get around having to have the camcorder on hand to make a DVD.

I have a deck that takes MiniDV tapes and converts to VHS... you'd think that this could be done too.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

    Yes, pretty much any standard DVD recorder deck with composite or s-video inputs will record direct from the composite or s-video output of your MiniDV player direct to a DVD.

      Ok - I found what I was looking for - JVC makes a stand alone video recorder with a miniDV drive and a DVD drive. Unfortunately, it's not cheap. I wanted something that would be super easy for the low-tech folks who will be using this in a library.

      Thanks for your suggestions!

    Software will do it too.

    Nero 6 or better (Windows) can capture from tape and record to a DVD on the fly.

    Once the DVD is made, you can always dupe it or keep the files for multiple copies.
