  1. So so weird! Using to capture footage from old DV video tapes and all seems to be going well. But using the dv2 format I get clips where audio is sped up with several clips. So I tried dv1, seemed fine, but doesn't take these files. Neither does the mov format. So I tried the raw format and that worked fine. But now there's one clip where audio is pitched down by more than 2 steps. So weird!

  6. Today I learned Apple dropped firewire support in OS 26 and Linux plans to drop it in 2029. I still have several miniDV cameras that are fun to record on. I guess I can continue with the old iBook I've been using to pull the video, but is till a bummer. The aesthetic isn't as strong as my Sony FD cameras, but recording in 4:3 is a fun challenge.

  7. Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...

    I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.

    But I have to say... This thing is a monster.

    Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?

  11. If you "digitize" your MiniDV footage by plugging a $20 box from China into the red/white/yellow composite outputs of your camcorder so it can record a 2.5mbps 480p30 MP4 get out of my house. we dumping the raw 12GB DV stream over Firewire and upscaling to 1080p60 with AviSynth bitch

  27. I mainly bought it to be able to digitise my tapes (again). But also because it's fun (if it works). The battery that came with it was dead, so bought a two pack. Was surprised these are still widely available (did get a 3rd party brand which I normally don't do with batteries).

    The camera came with 4 NEW tapes as well which was quite the surprise. In some ways the camera is brand new. At least some of its accessories (like the included SD card).

  28. This is quite something. It feels more modern than the old broken one we had, but that one had more features (like a builtin light!). Sadly it doesn't have a microphone input. It does however advertise to have "megapixels" 😄. Which is actually about 1.3MP haha. A 16MB SD card was included for photo's. It can even record a ten second clip in 320x240 to the SD card, or 160x120 even!

    No clue why they would include that though.

  29. This #Canon #MVX300 #miniDV #camcorder is quite something. It feels more modern than the old broken #JVC one we had, but that one had more features (like a builtin light!).

  32. Good grief is finicky! Not sure if it's actually the being troublesome or just the FireWire interface on . I takes several reconnects and reboots (of both camera and computer) for the camera to be properly recognised by the OS.

    And even during import I've already had a data connection loss. The FireWire cable is brand new, but the Thunderbolt 3 -> Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 2 -> FireWire adapters aren't. So...

  33. Esta mañana he vuelto a grabar algún video pero, esta vez, con la cámara Mini DV.
    Es el campanario de la Iglesia de San Agustín en Valencia. Desde siempre me ha parecido que no desentonaría en las películas del Señor de los Anillos xD

  35. Y volviendo a casa he visto en una tienda de reparación de móviles que tenían videocámaras y digicams en el escaparate. Ya es cuando me he fijado que habían dos cintas Mini DV y un Minidisc y por supuesto los he comprado, no estaban mal de precio. Eso si, el Minidisc está en blanco :(

  36. Aw bollocks! I found a Thunderbolt 2 to FireWire adapter very very cheap, so got the matching cable and the Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 cable. Everything connected, the Mac recognises the FireWire interface, so far so good.

    Sadly, the old JVC Mini DV Camera we used back in the day doesn't function properly anymore. I knew the FireWire interface was probably botched as I couldn't get it to work under Windows. But on top of that the thing is blind.

  37. Das Ende rückt näher... erst mal nur für Endverbraucher und nur für Leer-Medien wie #BDR und #BDRE-Rohlinge sowie
    #MiniDisc, #MDDatendisc und #MiniDV, aber das Ende der optischen Speichermedien rückt immer näher. 🙁

    In Anbetracht, dass #Netflix schon die nächste #Preiserhöhung angekündigt hat, keine gute Nachricht.
