Camcorder Reviews

For a project, I used a camcorder that uses DVD-R disks for recording a movie. I need to edit the clips, rearrange them, cut, etc..but I can’t convert the VOB file into something that will work with Windows Movie Maker. The cd is write protected and I can’t covert the files into Movie Maker. Help?

What is a better buy; camcorder or digital camera?
I only want to spend around a 110 dollars, so which will be the better buy?

I have recorded cassets on Sony DCR-TRV285E Handycam Digital8 Camcorder. Now tell me how to made CD out of these recorded cassets.

I was looking to buy the Flip Mino HD Camcorder (black), I was wondering if anyone has tried it. It says that it’s easy to put your vidoe’s on You tube with it, it that true.

I’m looking for a moderately priced digital camcorder that will record high quality footage in low level light situations, but also have really good sound quality. Mostly for recording live music in small club type settings. Geek speak is Greek to me. I get really confused when people talk about bites and pixels and whatnot. I just want something that can see in the (not completely) dark without being green. If someone can recommend a brand/ product name that would be great.

I want to be able to video my 3 year old growing up and so I will tote the camcorder around and don’t want to be so heavy and bulky. I want to be able to put it in my purse and go.

My first generation aluminum unibody MacBook (the one without the memory card reader) does not recognize my Sony DCR-HC30 camcorder. I already have a FireWire 400 to USB adapter. Do I need a special driver?, because I cannot find nothing on Sony’s website. Please help! I have some video I want to edit in iMovie 09.

My computer doesn’t recognize DCR-SR100. I tried to the driver posted on Sony website for other digital camcorder and it did not work.

On a phone. Which one is better the phones I am looking at (for when I get a job) the Camcorder phone is a lot cheaper by like $50. So which one would be better? Which one do you think I should get?
Thanks.

My sony camcorder shows black and white videos and pictures when I connect to my tv yet its color when I watch them on the camera. What couuld be wrong? Could it be a ntsc and pal problem because this camera was bought from singapore and I’m in Canada now. Can you list all possibilities so I can solve this. I used to be able to watch it in color there but not anymore. Also I haven’t used it in 5 years but I doubt that is an issue.
