yes of course i thought he was talking about making dvd copies, for strait camcorder play to a tele the hdmi is the easiest and best
You were right Chris I think he was talking about
making DVD copies : he mentions play and record .. not just viewing on TV
a hdmi output will not give you better recordings.the best input into dvd recorders is the firewire which gives recordings
true agreed as above
although slightly more compressed on a par with mini dv.as for hdmi out i do not think there is any difference watching home made movies via hdmi than from scart etc.chris
Im rather less sure about that. It may also depend of how and where you are watching it
There are cheap implementations of HDMI and rather good Scart RGB but in general terms, It is component and HDMI that are usually compared. Not Scart for Hi def viewing : At any rate , Hi Def however recorded cannot normally be viewed via Scart
The differences get much more apparent when you use very discriminating displays (Projectors, Large screen Displays )
but
To emphasise your point to the OP.. For transfer from camcorder to a DVD recorder, the firewire and HDMI would be at par but HDMI is not likely to be an input in the DVD recorder and even if it were quality is likely to be identical
