--- You wrote: As for the Sony DV camcorder I have a TRV20 that I got a a pawn shop for $100 because it wasn't pretty, but it worked great and it will convert analog to digital just fine. Stay away from the Digital 8 recorders unless you get one for a real cheap price as the tape is getting harder to find.
I also have a Sony VX2000 that I use most if the time just because it has some features I need if I am converting analog tape to digital tape, which also works great for storage of you digital conversion. That way you can do the DVD recording at a later date and not have to do everything at once. The only drawback to the process is that it is in real time, so it literally takes hours. Tom --- end of quote --- You can convert analog to digital by recording to tape and playing it back. But I was referring to REAL TIME converters which don't involve any extra time or use of tape at all. Plug the analog (RCA or SVideo) into the camcorder and it outputs digital to the firewire port just like a Hollywood Bridge. It's a feature you have to look closely to locate. I don't remember what it is called on the Canon cameras but I could look it up at home. The Sony cameras that do it probably call it something else.
