[MacDV] Re: DVD Player not playing

[Paul Williams]

Shirley,

I did get it on miniDV too, i was just hoping to pop in the DVD and 
maybe work with the DVD copy instead of having to get a miniDV player 
and capturing it. But the advice here on the forum seems to be that 
the miniDV copy would be the better copy anyway.

I'll be spending my morning researching a good miniDV camera (a not 
too expensive one) to do the capturing with. Any suggestions as the 
first part of my research into this?
