Hey my Axiomite buddies, my old JVC VHS-C camcorder is not cutting it anymore. Not that it does not work, it still works great, but it is a hassle to playback the tapes in their entirety, just to get them onto a DVD+R disc in my cheap Cyberhome DVD Recorder/Player. So I'm looking for suggestions. I don't want to spend much more than 600-700 smackers US. Do I want to go Mini DV or look at some of these units from Sony or Panasonic that have the built in DVD-R disc ability, so I just pull the disc out and enjoy. I really don't do much additional editing. My Cyberhome lets me change the title menus and add thumbnails to chapters, that is fine. I do have a 2x burner in my computer, yuck, but no firewire, just USB. The recent addition to our family is now almost 6 months, and we have not taken as much footage of him than our first son, the wife is not happy.
thanks in advance,
Randy
