Types of camcorders on the market
There are several different types of camcorders. There are MiniDV camcorders (which use small tapes), DVD camcorders (which record to Mini DVDs) and HDV camcorders (which still use tapes but in high definition, and can connect to your computer via firewire).
But in order to connect your camcorder to your computer, an HD hard drive camcorder is one of the best options because you don’t have to purchase any external media. You can easily use a USB drive and transfer your footage to your computer where it can be burned to DVD, or you may even be able to buy a device that allows you to plug in your camcorder and burn a DVD without even using a computer. There are also Flash Drive camcorders, which are new to the market and very small. They upload similarly to the hard drive camcorder.
However, two of the main drawbacks of the HD hard drive camcorder are that it is one of the most expensive types of camcorders available, and that the hard drive space may be limited depending on what you want to shoot.
While the other camcorders on the market make it a bit more difficult to transfer the footage easily and burn it to a DVD, a professional video production company can help you transfer any footage from any media – even camcorder tapes – to the digital media or DVD of your choice without any loss in quality, especially if you want to make multiple DVDs without losing any of the original quality.
