What Should You Know About Mini DV Tapes?

Mini DV is one of three major formats used to record digital audio and video footage for playback and editing. The other two most commonly used methods are by hard drive and by DVD or Blu-ray. Many people prefer using Mini DV tape technology for their recording purposes, because of certain technical advantages.

The first technical advantage is that Mini DV tapes allow for recording on high-density cassette tapes, which brings higher quality sound and video that's much sharper to experience. As a matter of fact, these digital Mini DV camcorders offer a much clearer picture overall than analog camcorders. When you bring HD format into the mix, this just enhances the system's capability all the more so. You are no longer shooting shaky, grainy amateur footage.

A second reason so many people like MiniDV camcorders (including professionals) is that they are very portable. Mini DV tapes are very small and portable and actually surprisingly lightweight. Shooting high quality footage is no longer a clunky or awkward experience. Now you can shoot footage for America's Funniest Home Videos with no problem whatsoever.

Mini DV recorders also have unique features that aren't available with other tape formats. For example, not only do Mini DV camcorders have night recording capabilities, (great idea for all you Blair Witch Hunters out there) but they also have MPEG conversion and frame-by-frame editing. One of MiniDV's most popular feature is that it makes importing footage to a PC (for DVD or hard drive saving) very easy. You can even edit the footage with special software, and upload it to the Internet. With a Mini DV camcorder and very cheap tapes (starting at $2 for 60 minutes of footage) you can show the world your true artistry. Many aspiring filmmakers and journalists actually start their careers modestly by using this superior but inexpensive form of digital recording to showcase their features.
