Mini DV to Tape Ttransferring
A Mini DV tape is the normal format that most digital camcorders use today. They are cheap and quick to use during the editing process. Copying a Mini DV to tape is quicker than editing when you just want to get your footage onto a watchable copy on your VCR and TV. Transferring from your Mini DV camcorder to a VCR tape should take only as long as the footage you wish to transfer.
Instructions
1. Plug your camcorder A/V cables into your camera and VCR. The 3mm end plugs into the output of the camcorder while the red and white A/V plugs go into the input nodules with the same color in the VCR.
2. Turn on the VCR, camcorder and TV. Switch the camcorder to the "Play" option. The image of what you want to record should be on the screen.
3. Push a VHS tape into the VCR. Click the "Play" button on your camcorder and then hit "Record" very quickly on the VCR. This will begin the recording process.
4. Run the tape as long as you want to record what's on your camcorder. Once you've transferred everything you want onto the VHS tape, hit "Stop" on the VCR.
