Re: Firewire to USB converter -OT

[James / Hans Kunz]

i'm sure your dv camera has an a/v out, there are screens available  
you can connect to your camera, this way may allow you to use the  
larger screen during the shooting & replay
just look for screens as used for backsit screens in  
cars.reversing screens & the like

available that

Alternatively the camera has red white yellow AV out. Would it be

to modify the AV out port on the DVD player so it takes AV in?
