I need a video camera that can record my presentation for class and then transfer to a dvd to send to professor can this one do all that. know nothing

The camera has a USB connection, so as long as your computer has a DVD writer, it should work fine. When doing actual videos (photos less important) it is best to get the Class 10 SDHC memory cards for the camera.

Yes, video saves to sd card then can be transferred your computer, then to a DVD. Just like taking a picture from a digital camera, transferring it to a computer then backing it up on a disc or flash drive. It really is a good device. You won't be disappointed. Hope this helps

Any camera can do the recording. The DVD question is only dependent on the computer you use to transfer the video file to disc, as long as you have the software you're good to go.

They are right. Download to computer and burn disc , I 'm not real computer literate as I have a problem viewing the disc on my tv. Which I blame on not knowing how to the right software to burn a DVD. But anyway, I wanted to add that you could also email the video as an attachment to your prof,

i dont know, it just records to an sd disk. i think you can burn it from there

This camera does not have a flash, so you will have to make sure there is plenty of light in the room. But other than that it you should have no problem recording a presentation. It will save digitally onto the SD card and then you will have to do the transfer process on your computer.

Have you looked at the Panasonic TM 700K? This is the best video and smallest camcorder around for less than $1000. Flash recording is the way to go for Battery consumption. Would not go into the hard drive versions regardless of the brand

I am looking for something to document student behavior for Juvenile Court. Will this camera fill the bill?

NO. This camera does not take video. This is a really old model that is over 10 years old. It's a great film camera, but your question implies you want a modern digital camera with video capabilities. This is not that camera.

Thanks Dale --That sounds great! Almost too easy to be true? I guess the big hang up with those old camcorders was getting the video onto a PC, connections, storage space, firewire's, etc.... I just want to put them on a dvd so this sounds like it would work for me. It is just home video of the kids growing up so top image quality isn't really a concern. The only other question is, what do you think the 'playability' of the recorded disc would be on devices going forward, meaning our PC, parents PC, whatever dvd player we have, etc.....? Any special type of disc to ensure compatability with multiple devices?If I spend hours converting but then can't watch, I haven't really accomplished anything. Thanks Dale --That sounds great!

If you want to record lectures try the Sony TCM200DV which uses tapes. I used it for one of my lectures and found that using the tapes and storing them without needing to download into a computer was a breeze. All my friends who used the digital recorders had problems but this recorder helped me pass. If you buy the 90 min. tapes the machine can double the time. Sensitivity is excellent. It runs about $35 and there is even a more expensive $45 older model. I just labeled the tapes and if there was a lecture I wanted to hear again it was no problem. I know you are keen on the digital but to me, recording and then downloading into a computer was a drag. Aside from that if there is a problem with the computer your recordings are gone. I know this didn't answer your question but it might help.

Yes..but let me say...this is a POS! Sound/record quality is terrible. Shuts off automatically and you miss most of the lecture you are recording.

It will work, but you will most likely run out of space especially since you are trying to record your lectures - which tend to be long. However if you offload it onto your itunes daily, you should be able to manage.

sorry...I can not provide 411 regarding the video capabilities of this camera. I only use the camera for photos.

I am absolutely positive it will work, F. Melamed. The camcorder probably has RCA composite connections (red and white for audio, yellow for video). If it is mono, one of the audio connections should work for both. If not, go to Radio Shack and get a "Y" connector to connect the mono connection to the stereo connections on the DVD recorder. Once you have them connected, turn both the camcorder and recorder on. Make sure the recorder is tuned to the proper input and then put it into "Record Pause" mode. Then, when you have the tape in the camcorder at the right place, just press "Record" on the DVD recorder. That will give you the cleanest start for your recording. I recommend using the 1 hour DVD mode for the best picture possible.

You'll need a camera that can play / record from / to miniDV tapes. Then you just have to interface that camera from its cable source (usb or firewire) to the computers input; with some sort of capture software. It isn't so easy as newer cameras that have hdd / flash drives, since the tapes don't store 'files' so to speak. Sorry you lost the camera.

I wouldn't. It's good for recording something in a short distance like a study group, lectures are too far away even if you're in the front row because there may be a lot of background noise that should distort what you should want to hear. You can get a digital recorder for $20 or $30 with.better speakers for lectures.

You need a video converter that could convert the Camcorder output to a DVD format.

The camera is just a camera with networking capabilities. Really iffy network capabilities. If you're looking for a reliable internet video link, look elsewhere. This is not it.

I had this camera and it doesn't take photos. You'd need to look at much newer models for video recording.

It will take beautiful video. You may be better off with a less expensive camera if you are just learning. iMovie or Final Cut works like magic.
