Can the videos be copied to a SD and HD DVD?

You would have to convert the video to an appropriate format to be written to a standard DVD. They won't "play" if simply burned to a DVD. There are many freeware applications out there that should be able to do this.

yes you can copy vhs to your hd without a seperate program (very easy).I would recommend s video at min.using composite cable your movie will not be as clear.Depending on your set up you may need a burn program to covert to dvd

Yes but you will need a program that can decode the HD disks. You will need to search the internet for the program.

Yes you can. Format, depends on what you use and save after you edit. I use Roxio and save as WMV. I also burn to DVD and play on a 50" plasma. Video is better than our old VHS-C and close to MiniDV.

We have not tried to copy any HD discs. The unit does not show any documentation of HD so I feel it would not copy hd files

I've not burned things to a dvd but don't see why you couldn't. It downloads very easily onto your computer, so you could burn from there. It may be best to use Windows Live Movie Maker in order to put it into a more usable format.

You can as long as your DVD has a record function. There shouldn't be any other reason not to be able to (other than read disc errors).

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.

Hi Dan, Let me try and address each of your questions separately. Question 1: This camcorder has the capability of recording either SD or HD. If its recorded in HD, you can transfer it to varous PC software packages in HD and down convert to SD for burning to DVD. Sony Vegas Movie Studio + DVD, Pinacle Studio Plus 10.5 and Ulead DVD Movie Factory can handle HD and create standard DVDs. No known software products for HD DVD and Blu Ray. Question 2: If you want to record in HD and output to a standard Mini-DV tape in SD format, you should look into one of the software products above to do that for you. I don't know if a firewire connection will work. Question 3: Yes. See the list of software products above. Please note that the software listed does not include professional grade software costing $400 and up. Additional software packages in this price range can handle HD editing. Also note, if you are looking into software for HD, check the system requirements of the software against your PC to see if you have enough horsepower to use it before buying.

No, but you can do what I do, use the anydvd program to extract the movie from the DVD then convert it to mp4 and put it on a usb hard disk and play it on the player.

I never try that... but maybe the best way is sharing the SD once is in your PC.Good luck,Vicente

Yes you can record directly to a DVD. Or if you wish first to HDD, edit it, and then copy to DVD.

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd

I haven't found a way to get SD or the USB to work for several formats of movies.

No. I'm sure there is a way of doing it but not without accessing the hard drive directly. However, since the unit has the capability of transferring to a DVD directly from the hard drive why would you consider going that route?
