I had a question, that has probably been asked on here before (if so, please kindly direct me to the thread).
Can one use an ordinary DV camcorder to capture 30p and 24p SD video from a Panasonic DVX100 or HVX200.?
I have an HVX200, and while I plan to shoot on card or hard drive increasingly for HD video, I am still shooting DV tapes on this camera, but I am reluctant to purchase a dedicated DV video deck unless it will be used a lot and pay its way. On the other hand, I am also reluctant to use the HVX as a playback deck.
However, with that said, I would also consider a unit like the JVC-SR-DVM600US (app. $850 from B&H) that is a 3 in 1 VHS, MiniDV, and Hard Disk Drive unit combined into one unit. My question about this unit and also about mini DV cameras for playback/capture is whether these units will playback tapes recorded in Panasonic 24 progressive fps and 30 progressive fps (also realizing that even in those record modes, the camera is still capturing video at 30i).
Although I realize that a videocamera used as a playback deck is not an optimal solution and is, at best, only a low cost solution for DV playback for capture, does anyone have any thoughts or experience using a mini DV camera for this purpose.
Again, I would consider the JVC 3 in 1, if users have had good experience with it, but would also consider the camcorder VTR solution if that is known to work reasonably well. At least with the camcorder solution, I would have an occasional backup camera. Any thoughts are appreciated...thanks in advance. (and if this issue has been posted previously, my apologies).
