i have a few questions:

1. how many times can i firewire my HD footy from my hv30 to my computer without causing any damage to the camera ??

2. are head-cleaners for mini-dv cameras worth it (do they work) ... ??!

if you NSers can help by posting, id reallly appreciate it.

thanks.

unlimited.. there is no limit. head cleaners are only needed if your heads start to get dirty. you will know that this is hapening because you will have big huge glitchylines in all of your footy...

to stop this from happening as often always try and use the same type of tape. the reason for this is because all taped have a different type of lube that tgets rubbed on the heads. and when they mix, bad things happen

well, what i actually meant was does capturing footage straight from the camera decrease its quality over time?!
