mini dv playback Can't Post
If I record 16x9 HD like on an fx1, will this tape playback and transfer firewire on a cheap mini dv camcorder SD 4x3.

Im asking because th mini dv vcrs are pretty pricey, and the cheap mini dv cams are not.

I will do this as long as I dont lose any of the quality of the original HD 16x9 tape.

Thanks for any insight into this

You CAN NOT playback a HD tape in a SD camcorder.

Technology. It does wonders if you know how to use it.

Yes. It records to MPG2 and imports as M2T file and not AVI. The SD camcorder will not and can't decode the HD MPG2 stream.
