[MacDV] Mini-dvd camcorders

[Alex]

I agree with Nick on this one
Only useful if you do not have a Mac with iLife.
The final menu look is ugly as sin when you use the disk,
Plus you are recording to Mpg2 which is inferior in quality on your  
primary recording medium!

This is not for any sort of serious work but more of a consumer toy.

My thoughts are that DVD camcorders are not DV. With DVD Camcorders,
editing is much crippled in that you first have to rip the DVD to  
your hard
drive, then you have to convert it to DV, then you can import it to  
your app
for editing. This is MPEG 2 compressed video remember,

Not worth getting.

Not now, probably not ever.

My 2 cents worth.
