Hey guys--So I need to dub some mini-DV tapes I've shot for a documentary (actually, it will be a lot of mini-DV tapes). The easy way of doing this would be to just get two miniDV decks and start dubbing, but I live in a small town in Oregon which apparently doesn't have said decks. What I do have is the following:
1. DVX100
2. Access to other mini-DV cameras
Is it possible to connect the two cameras to perform a dub? I really don't care about the quality of the dub, though I assume it will be quite high, because essentially it will be used as a "work print", and the masters will be kept in a secure place for the eventual online full res mix (my editor is in NYC and I will be shipping these dubs to her, hence my reluctance to Fedex my masters). What does matter of course it that THE TIMECODE IS PRESERVED across the dub. Does anyone know how I do this given my resources? I am thinking Firewire, any suggestions? Thanks!
