For example, a true-blue Sony NTSC DV camcorder will play back NTSC tapes fine, but PAL tapes are output as NTSC50. If only we were all interested in playback, that would be enough. You will need that IEEE-1394 (firewire) cable in any case.Īs Johnny Malaria has noticed, one great undocumented feature of Sony D8 and DV camcorders is that they ALL play back NTSC or PAL tapes without a hitch. WinDV (free) is all you need to capture DV format.
MINI DV PLAYER FOR SALE SOFTWARE
yes,thanks,good idea,I just tryed to burn a dvd but the recorder displayed NOT RECOGNIZED SIGNAL so it unfortunately doesn't work,the only option maybe connecting the SONY with fire wire cable which I don't have and then I still would have to get some video software like Pinacle etc.Thanks for your help guys. Try an IEEE-1394 transfer and see if it plays on the computer. That works for a DVD player but not for DV camcorders. My Philips "HD Ready" CRT plays PAL in monochrome except when I use analog component. Are you certain your TV is analog PAL capable? 99.99% aren't. On the modern models things may be different but don't expect the analog outputs to play in PAL except for special models. The other way around the rule was NTSC DV would play to some PAL LCD viewfinders but not out the IEEE-1394 port. Normally an NTSC DV camcorder won't play PAL DV at all.
MINI DV PLAYER FOR SALE PLUS
My cheap-as-chips $20 Walmart special can play PAL and NTSC plus it can be configured to play to PAL and NTSC TVs. VOBs and/or directly to DVD.īerghof - have you tried connecting the camcorder directly to the TV to see what happens? Also, FWIW, my high end Pioneer DVD player can't even play PAL DVDs, let alone get the colour right.
MINI DV PLAYER FOR SALE PC
If the camcorder is sending out "PAL 3.58" then the only solution would be to capture the PAL video via FireWire to the PC (assuming it is sent to FireWire) and convert the DV files to. The guaranteed way to rule out the TV is to record a test DVD and look at it on a PC since it will happily play PAL and NTSC correctly. If the latter, it's a problem for this application. The question is whether the analog output is true PAL (4.43MHz carrier) or pseudo PAL (25fps + 3.58MHz). If it plays a coherent image, it MUST be decoding as PAL. When I have tried PAL tapes on those NTSC camcorders that can't play them, you get a blocky image on the camcorder's display and nothing on the FireWire.
And all of my Sony camcorders (even the cheapest consumer one) can play DVCAM, too!
I have an NTSC MiniDV camcorder that plays PAL tapes perfectly and is available via FireWire. Sony camcorders often have undocumented features.
