Hello
I have two questions regarding capturing to MiniDV and transfer to Macintosh.
1. Is there a professional way to capture MiniDV (Mini DV VCR Recorder).
I know of this product:
Sony HDV Video WALKMAN GV-HD700 - digital VCR - Mini DV
I want to record a analog signal (e.g. TV) and split the signal (?) to record a "physical" backup on MiniDV and a digital recording at the same time.
2. How much GB for 1 hour of DV?
Thank you for your time
Best

2. 13 GB per hour
1. Why ? Yes, there are mini-DV decks. They are expensive for what you get. Some DV cameras can record from analogue inputs, although in the UK (and possibly elsewhere in Europe) a weird tax anomaly made this rarer that elsewhere in the world. Would I call it professional ? Not in the sense of what you are doing, because professionals wouldn't use mini-DV for this type of recording.Read my blog here.

Analog Source (BNC) -BNC Splitter (1,2) -1: analog-digital-converter-Mac-2: Here I need a possibity to record analogue or continuously as a backup if 1 fails.
What would you/professional use then?
I want a backup if the digital recording fails.
Thanks! -
I would use a HDD recorder/DVR. Superior running time.
However if you can get a camera with analogue to digital pass-through then you could record the analogue directly to tape while the camera passes DV through to the Mac firewire port. No need to split and risk signal loss.Read my blog here.
