HDV player/recorders, recommendations?

[acej]

Hello,
I am about to capture selected footage from 40 hours of HD video material shot on a Sony A1U camcorder.
Can anyone please recommend a HD player/recorder?
There are several Sony models, do they all have the same quality of playback? and are all equally durable?

Thank you for any insight you can provide.

You mean a tape player? You can play HDV (m2t) files from a computer or selected media players.

Yes, a tape player, the material I shot is on HD tape and need a deck to capture from so I don't wear out my camcorder...

This is the only one I know unless you want a >$2000 broadcast model.

Why not cap of an HDV camcorder?

Thanks, but I prefer to save my video heads and camera motor for shooting, I've 40 hours of material, so viewing, rewinding and frwrdg and capturing will put a lot of wear and tear on the camera, that is why I prefer to use a deck/player to capture from.
