    Sorry if this is posted on the wrong forum, I didnt know where else to post it.
    Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a PC drive for MiniDV tapes?

    There once was. It would allow you to get your movies into the computer. It would also work as a data backup device. I haven't been able to find any lately. Or at least not at a price that I thought was low enough.

    I've seen one (at the window of the second hand store in Sydney) but it had a price tag of $2000...

    I can only image what the original price was...

    There are dvcam/minidv decks available which are used by video editors, dvd authoring facilities, and the like to capture and print to dvcam/minidv/dvcpro tapes. These prosumer and professional level decks support sdi, timecode, and other advanced capabilities which you would probably not require. If I was in your boat, id transfer footage from a minidv tape in your cam to your pc via a firewire connection

    The miniDV drive has the advantage of being a DATA backup device too.

    This is not a MiniDV drive. It uses a 40GB hard disk to store the video.

    call it what ever you want - but it is a DV drive ... i.e. dv camera is connected to by firewire and this drive stores the dv avi file as it is being made (no tape required) ..

    I haven't tried it though
    Just because you aren't paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you!
