I'm just about to apply for a grant to make a "community video," featuring inteviews with many people in our town capturing their perceptions of the town's past, present and future. On the production side, I'll be doing much of the filming and editing. Anticipating the need to download and view a lot of footage, I'd rather not use my Sony TRV900 for that and wonder if anyone can recommend a tape player for miniDV tapes that can use Firewire into my computer and, alternately, play directly into a TV set for preliminary viewing? tia, BobLL
