Phwaor, those products are pretty steep. Can someone tell me the cons of using a camera for capturing? I might have to look into investing in a tape deck, depending...

A HC3 is an economical acquisition deck. I use mine all the time for that.

The specific HDV VTRs are still pretty pricey.

Seeing that you can pick up a new HC3 for about $1200 makes it tough to buy a deck that is over $2k.

I hope more economical decks come available in the future.

yeah i agree those prices are a tad bit more than I thought they'd be.

Chris what's your method (program, settings) that you use to capture with your HC3?

I'm using Avid Liquid Pro version 7.1.

I capture using the built in logging program. Depending on what I'm doing I capture in HDV or DV.

When I'm in the field I capture with my laptop in DV and then transfer everything to the desktop. The laptop can't edit HDV but it handles DV fine.

When I transfer projects to the desktop I can re-capture a DV timeline in HDV if needed. Avid takes care of everything and I just have to load the tapes as it asks for them.

HDVsplit works great for me and it's free. It apparently only splits with a few cams (built around Sony) but captures fine with most everything.

I'm using a Canon XH-A1 and a fairly low-level laptop. Only capture on the laptop, - edit on desktop.
