HDV camera

Use this option to open the HDV camcorder record dialog. To do this, you have to

connect an HDV camcorder.

The options in this dialog can also be found above in DV recording.

DV camera

Connect a DV or HDV camera

• Connect the digital output of the switched-off camera with the computer's DV

interface (also called FireWire or iLink).

• Insert a DV cassette or the storage device into the camera.

• Switch your camera’s operating mode to "Video recorder" or "Playback".

The camera is now ready to transfer video to the computer.

Note: You may also use a HDV camera in DV mode to, for example, transfer

recordings in the old DV format. We have noted problems with this mode in many

cameras, and therefore recommend that the Record mode of the camera is also

switched to DV, switching the camera off and then on again.
