DVL-Digest 885 - Postings: Index DV or DVCAM? DV or DVCAM? - "Perry" Babe posted: >what is difference between DV tape and DVCAM tapes?< to quote an old joke; 'about !' If you genuinely mean just the tape: 1) DVCAM tape is more expensive and comes in a library case 2) It supposedly has less drop out and more durability 3) If fitted; the chip memory is 16k for DVCAM, 4k for DV. >Can I play back DV tape in DVCAM deck/camera and viceversa.< All DVCAM decks/cameras play DV(SP only). Most Sony DV decks/cameras play DVCAM. The trouble is this latter feature is usually undocumented so Sony could take it away without warning! If you use a non Sony DV product it is unlikely to play DVCAM. for more information see www.adamwilt.com Perry Mitchell Video Consultant http://www.perrybits.co.uk (diese posts stammen von der DV-L Mailingliste - THX to Adam Wilt and Perry Mitchell :-) [up] |
