Good for converting old mini DV tapes to mpeg4? Does it have FireWire?

Yes, it has FireWire. I use the camera with iMovie6 to convert videos to mpeg4 and other formats, or do it from the camera through iDVD

Yes, if you wish to output analogue video from the camera to the device, have that convert to digital video, then have the computer capture that. Here's the thing... It's highly likely that your camera already has an i.LINK port. This device requires a firewire port on your computer. Firewire, by another name, is known as... i.LINK. If your camera has i.LINK, you can plug it straight into the firewire port on your computer without needing to convert your digital source to analogue (on the camera) then convert analogue to digital on the device. http://www.sony-asia.com/support/resources/en_AP/html/Usefulinfo/Transfer_video/MiniDV.html#bILINK Yes, if you wish to output analogue video from the camera to the device, have that convert to digital video, then have the computer capture that.

Nop this camcorder us minidv but is good camcorder because it have hd for blue ray. And for Import your video you need to use a firewire 4 pin.that all I know about that camcorder.

the camera has a firewire port (mini), standard for transferring/capturing HDV video. you could also use a signnal based capture device (component video) to capture the HD output.

Sorry that I cannot answer your question as I've yet to use it for anything else but transferring old video tapes to digital.

I have not used it for that purpose before. The standard connection it comes with is a USB 3.0 cable which is faster than firewire. If you have a USB 3.0 connection on your computer than great, if not it will still connect via a USB 2.0 connection but will not have the faster performance.

Interesting idea. Unfortunately, I have no firewire accessories other than hard drives to use, so I really can't help.Sorry

Hi Jaime, this Sony CCD-TRV68 doesn't have or support Firewire connection on your Mac PC. For you to transfer videos coming from your Hi8 tapes from this camcorder, what you need is an AV connecting cable (male mini plug to RCA). In addition, you may wanted to use this Sony DVDirect MC6 DVD Recorder (model #VRDMC6) for you to transfer on DVD first. Hope this helps. -Ely

Sure, I connected it to my computer using a firewire cable and captured the footage on final cut. I have final cut pro 7.

I bought this to play some old 8mm tapes I made in the late 80s and early 90s. I can also use it to transfer the tapes to regular VHS or a r/w DVD player, but I have not figured out how to transfer them to my computer yet.

Will this play a Mini Digital Video Cassette from my Digital Camera on my VHS and can I convert them to DVD in the same unit?

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply.The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.

You would use a FireWire cable and import the video using video editing software.

It comes with a firewire cable (mini connectors) and an audio/video out cable (mono/encoded).
