Burning to DVD and then transfering to a PC and ripping is going to give you the best picture quality. Using the outputs on the back will only give you an analogue signal plus you will only be able to transfer to a PC in real time so it would take a lot longer than doing it with a DVD. |

| 714682 | 2008-10-26 01:32:00 | Thanks, after hearing that the quality will stay greatest on Dvd I might just stick with it. I also forgot that I would then have to capture it in real time :S Shame Sony (and all hdd recorder brands) don't bring out new firmware to allow dv to computer. ---------------- -How about buying a DVD-RAM? would it work, letting me hold much more and slap it onto the pc? |

There are some models that have a network socket on them that allows you to transfer data to and from the HDD and a PC. |

| 714684 | 2008-10-26 02:15:00 | True, but that involves buying a new one, and then transferring the data from my one to the new one :) | Curbd (13334) | ||
| 714685 | 2008-10-26 02:33:00 | Pity you're not in Auckland. I could have transferred it to DV tape then transferred it to PC for you |

| 714686 | 2008-10-26 03:58:00 | quite funny, right this minute im transferring clips on my dvd recorder and then burning dvds and then ripping them on the pc.. my panasonic dvd recorder has sd and usb connections but cant only copy from them to the recorder. not vice versa which is a real pain in the neck. i would have thought they would have the copying 2 way! oh.. just seen my recorder has dvd ram.. so guess i might as well just get a ram disc i suppose.. might suss me a dvd writer that does dvd-ram.. my old dvd writer had dvd-ram but never used it.. my current doesnt have dvd-ram. ripping to dvd is tedious but i guess it retains max quality as previously mentioned. |

| 714687 | 2008-10-26 05:27:00 | Thanks for the offer Speedy Gonzales, but as you say I'm not in auckland, and also that I'm doing many files - like, not just today, but also many in the near future. Thankyou anyway. I got a few Dvd-RAMS, only to find that our recorder doesn't support the type :( No worries. I wish there was independent firmware out there to allow USB or firewire/dv transfer or something! imagine if you had a file over 4.7GB (which I do have some of lol) on the recorder, and you want to get them onto your pc without loss of any quality. Ditch. |
