Can I copy video from PC to MiniDV camcorder?

[agon]

I have a commercial I created in AE CS3 and I need to transfere it to a MiniDV says Comcast. Can I use my PC and a MiniDV camcorder to do that and what do I need. Any special camcorder, cards, cables, software, etc?

Thank You in advance,
Agon

I haven't done that, but I believe WinDV can transfer DV back to a camcorder. Others may have better info.

And welcome to our forums.

So long as the file is DV.avi, WinDV can play it to your camcorder over IEEE-1394 and you can record any part of it.

If AE CS3 has a "print to DV tape" function similar to Premiere, you can do it from the timeline.

WOW!..

That was exaclty what I needed to know. After reading the replies I went out today and bought a Canon ZR950 MiniDV and a miniDV cable. Rendered the video to AVI which was already 720x480 NTSC/DV then loaded the AVI into Premier and then used the "export to tape" function as said above and BANG!!! there it was on MiniDV cassette.
