Consumer DVD based camcorders provide the WORST video quality – especially if there is any need to edit the video or if you want to upload. Please do not waste your time with a DVD based camcorder. Consumer DVD based camcorders barely make useful doorstops. Flash memory and Hard disc drive (HDD) camcorders use the same file types. Hard disc drive camcorders have known problems with high levels of vibration and high altitude and can stop recording when exposed to those environments. The video is compressed a lot, but the video is acceptable to some. Copy the video to your computer using USB; you may need a converter like StreamClip in order to get the video in the format your editor can deal with. MiniDV tape continues to provide the best available video quality because of the least amount of video compression applied to the digital video as it is written to the digital tape.
