Capture QUESTION

[Hodges]

Is it possible to capture HDV footage from an SD camcorder?

I have been using an SD camcorder as a deck and was wondering if this would be possible with HDV...

Thanks for the help-

if you get the xh a1 just use the camera itself to capture until you get enough money to buy a seperate tape deck. that's what i'm gonna do. if you use it wisely the heads will outlast your use for the camera. they wouldn't put tape heads in the camera if they weren't meant to be used.

There isn't (and won't be) a tape deck for the A1. Canon F mode is proprietary and it's not worth the expense for them to design a deck. Your only two alternative is the HV10 or the HV20 cameras for $800-900, both of which reads F mode.

Thanks for the help. Thats a shame there is not a deck made for the A1.
