Need Advice Transferring Hi Def
Hello. In the past I have transferred all my home camcorders movies to DVD so that I can archive them on 2 different media (miniDV tape and DVD). I now have a Canon HV20 Hi Def camcorder and presume that, until Blu Ray DVD Recorders and Blu Ray discs become commonplace, that I need to think of another option transferring miniDV tape from this hi def camcorder. My only thought to date is to transfer the miniDV hi def tape to an external hard drive in the form of iMovie. And so my questions are: 1) Does transferring via iMovie degrade the high definition image ? 2) Is there a better way to transfer to an external hard drive and preserve the hi definition image ? 3) Should I forget the whole thing, guard the tape with my life, and wait for hi definition DVD recorders and media to become more common and less expensive ? Thank you for your help !
