   The ZR500 connector is IEEE 1394, also renowned as Firewire. Wretched, but there is no such business as a 1394 to USB cable. It couldn’t work since the technology is uncommon. Read this:

   If your notebook doesn’t have a firewire (also renowned as DV) port, you can get a firewire hub like this:

   It's an choice on one of the menus. I don't have the manual on me aptly now. Wretched. Keep in mind that there is also the spectacle on the LCD vs your TV. Uncommon settings.

   the manufacturer naturally sizes a array for 1-2 hours operation. for miniDV, that is one tape for sure, and possibly 2 if you don't leave the camera in intermission. be sure to freshen the charge on the array before leave-compelling. why not take the mount and extra tapes with you, a week can present a lot of photo ops.

   Thank you!
   It’s probably due to the compression. You may be getting macro blocks from it. I use a Windows Media Record compression at 640×480 resolution (WMV plot). I reckon they have a compressor for mac called flip that may possibly work. If not, try changing the compressor to AVI (divx plot avi).

   Through personal hard I have establish that Divx AVI and WMV formats work fantastic and give the cleanest record and sound.

   Here’s a handbook to transfer record to the notebook:

   Your best choice is probably a AV capture card.

   Dirt accumulates on the tape/erasing head go up even as tape plays & wears off on supporter.
   Buy a tape cleaning cassette & sterile heads – stay on in black and white instructions. Tip: when using a new tape… quick forward, then rewind before tape.
   Test & see the consequences…If the stripes still grow, probably summers' just nearly the confront! … then you'll have to bring your vcam to the next-door service shop.

    Hey, splendid record!
    When I upload my videos to Youtube, it is very low feature compared to this. I have the exact same camera, and I never knew the feature may possibly be as excellent as this. You said you removed noise? I have a Mac, so I’m not sure how I can remove it. Or, possibly I’m just compressing it a uncommon way or a upset. Do you have any dreams?

    This is frequently due to a soil tape head. You are using a tape and the gap in the head can get clogged with oxide from the tape. Get a excellent cleaning tape, one that is not compulsory for your camera, and use it regularly. It may take several passes to right your problem as from your description, the head seems to be pretty ruined.

    Be very careful about the cleaning tape. I have a Sony HI8 camera and have to use a only one of its kind dry tape to sterile it. The sales self sold me a wet one when I bought the camera which ruined the tape head the at the start time I used it and they had to exchange the ($1,200) camera.

    Two options
    a) go to the house where you bought that cam
    B) smash your camera!

    XL1 hands down since of the manual features. It beyond doubt has a surpass sensor to confirmation in low light and even even if it is older, it still holds the ordinary for professional use.

    You may possibly get the ZR500 and buy a commanding mic collectively with the same fee as a XL1 alone.

    Remember that it is vital to focus on the following (in diplomacy)
    1) Sound
    2) Record feature
    3) Lighting
    4) Control, etc.
