I have Camcorder tapes containing dig video. I want to capture the video by fire wire and then archive the data in its native format ready for future importing and editing. I dont want to loose any quality. What format are the files on the tape? Please help. try imprting the tapes onto your computer via a program such as adobe premier and then exporting to dv tape, alternativly, if you have a 2nd dv camera you can copy direct from camera to camera as long as dv in is enabled on the 2nd camera.... there should be no loss of quality when you do this |
