VIDEO FROM DIGITAL (DV) CAMCORDERS

Camcorders that capture video directly into digital formats that offer many advantages for multimedia computer files. The captured video can be copied indefinitely with higher resolution, digitized audio, and no loss of frames. The mini-DV cassettes are smaller and have at least double the capacity of the Regular 8 and Hi8 analog cassettes. Vendors and products are reviewed by Doyle (1996) . (See also Dry camera )
