What is Mini DV?
Mini DV is a videocassette that is made for use with Mini DV digital camcorders. DV refers to the technology of digital video format that first came onto the scene in about 1995. Ever since this time, many professional filmmakers as well as amateur photographers have used DV to their advantage. Mini DV cassettes refers to the smaller product of the DV technology.
Mini DV camcorders will record video footage to small MiniDV tapes, in similar fashion to VHS tapes. These tapes are inexpensive, reusable and available in most electronic stores. One of the reasons that Mini DV camcorders and mini tapes are so popular is because they are compact and easily portable. However, there are other advantages that Mini DV camcorders have over other ways of digital recording, including special low-light settings, digital photo modes, image stabilization options and special red/green/blue imaging sensors, which help to provide a cleaner picture. High-end DV camcorders also record video footage in high-definition.
There are a variety of camcorders to choose from, some of which will be interest to newcomers, and some of which will be of great interest to professionals looking for advance options. For instance, if you are going to be doing a lot of editing work, then a Mini DV system will help you, due to its capacity for detailed frame-by frame editing. Some people use other sources of digital video recording technology, like hard drives, flash memory or a camcorder with a memory card. However, these do not allow frame-by-frame editing under common commercial circumstances. Therefore, film students who really want to work with editing, fades and cuts would find Mini DV tapes and DV tape camcorders far more practical. You can also view footage you shoot on Mini DV tapes and then connect them to a TV using audio and video jacks. (Of course, ideal results come from having a high quality TV)
