I remember a year or so ago I was told not to get an hdd video camera because the format would not drag and drop into any of the video editing programs. Is this still true?
I have about 30 minidv tapes sitting around doing nothing because everytime I need to grab a clip I have to go through a HUGE ordeal of finding it and ripping it to the computer in real time. With the price of hard drives I'd much rather just archive everything to the pc from a HDD camcorder. But if the format needs conversion or is difficult to edit, then I guess I'll just stick with my miniDV for now.
The camera i'm looking at is a jvc everio for about 600$ used.
Is that one good to drag and drop edit like I want to do?
Can you recommend some others under 600$ to look at?
Can you reccomend some to stay away from?
