how to insert the mini DV in the camcorder

On the bottom of the camcorder you'll see a grey switch, you slide it and the bottom compartment will split open, the tape case will pop out, after you insert the tape in you then join the compartment that opened electronically and it will automatically go back in. You should not force the compartment in, it will atomically go back in once you join it back together. I hope that helps you out.

There's a button at the bottom that you have to hold and it brings the dispenser to insert the tape.

On the front of the camera there is a grey switch that says "tape eject". Activate this switch and the camera shouuld open up and expose the slot for you to insert the tape.

Sorry, this item did not work for my mini dv video cassete, because my cassete is much smaller. But if it were the right size it would have solved my problems, since my video camera is not allowing me to view/play anymore:( Sorry, had to return this item.

Any miniDV camera will work, so you can buy the cheapest one you can find. Just makes sures its miniDV and that it has a firewire port (most do but some don't)

You MUST have an SD memory card installed, not bigger than 32 Geg. Press "Menu", then either "Vol" button until you see "Video Player", press and hold Both Vol up and Vol Down, 3 seconds. Should get a second menu, scroll to "DV" press "OK". you will see what the camera is looking at for 10 sec., then it goes into record (blue dot in upper right corner). Hope that helps. Jack

Sony made a DV mini tape player/recorder. Model #Sony DSR-25 DVCAM MiniDV Compact Desktop Player/Recorder-Firewire-NTSC/PAL. It has analog video and sound AND DV (Digital video and sound) outputs; that you can connect to VCR's or similar devices.They are often on eBay; but they usually go for under $200.00. There are also Sony DV camcorders; but they usually sell for more than the player/recorders above.If you do not wish to record any more, then I would strongly suggest you check out the Sony DSR-25. patdee

I haven't used it with the Sony Handycam but my Sony DV camcorder works great with it as well as my JVC handycam type camcorder. My Sony is an older model that uses DV tape. The JVC uses an SD card. Check with your owners manual and if it has a fire wire port on your handycam it should work just fine.

Hi Donald G., Go to esupport.sony.com website to get a copy of the user's guide for the camcorder. Vincent

Two grey cords come with it, both with A/V connections on one end, and 3.5MM jacks on the other. Plug the A/V connections into your TV and your VCR. There is a "Video In" jack and a "Video Out" jack on the video converter. Plug the 3.5MM side of the cable now attached to the VCR to the Video In jack and the 3.5MM side of the cable attached to the TV to the Video Out jack. When you turn on the video converter, the VuPoint screen should appear first and you will be ready to record.

You pretty much can't. DVD-based recordings are in a completely different format than what you can use in iMovie. In order to translate the video into DV, you have to download a Quicktime update, an MPEG translator, and a semi-legal DVD ripping software program....I just returned my camera and got a Canon miniDV camera, and I'm very happy.... The sony was nice though.

Hi, thanks for your email, Sony PD150 is MiniDV format that means you load a MiniDV tape and capture footage on MiniDV tape and then transfer footage to your computer to either your computer or DVD recorder through RCA A/V jack, Svideo jack or Firewire port.Take care, Norman.

I am so sorry but I am afraid that I do not know the answer to this question as I am not acquainted with the camcorder and adapter that you are using.

I just connected the mini hdmi to the camcorder and the other end of hdmi to the TV or your computer for editing. If you need the composite, go to this link it might be of some help? Http://www.ebay.com/gds/How-Do-I-Connect-My-Camcorder-to-My-TV-and-Share-Videos-/10000000177628260/g.html. My Canon was as good as new and 3 times less than the G10. Just does not have great resolution like the G10. Good Luck my friend

There is an insert that will screw to your camcorder and then attach to the tripod

Just a thought for Canon Vixia and other camcorder/GoPro users, in addition to Tom Khazoyan's answer about the adapter for mini shoe to standard shoe, you could also use one of those camcorder "handles" and mount the mic on the cold shoe at the top end of the handle. The handle is also great if want to do something like shoot low or create some interesting angles.

They are good for mini dv camcorders. Im using in Panasonic mini dv camera. I like it. Quality is good. Its very small tapes to fit in compact movie camera. If your camera says' mini dv camera' on it.

No. The VuPoint requires a VCR to play the tape and converts it to digital an puts it on a SD card. Or as Matthew Kelly stated, use the video camera with the mini to play into the VuPoint.
