Dumbass with a new cam

Post by **Hatebreed** » Mon Jul 06, 2009 5:31 pm

Used my Canon HV30 for the first time on holiday and came to move the recording across to my laptop and have just realised that it does not have a HDV/DV terminal to allow the transfer. Is ther any other way of transfering it?

What an idiot

Any help much appreciated...

If Markus can't help you, let me know Dave. I have an HV20, and they're pretty similar so I could probably help.

You can transfer via USB, but you lose quality compared to using a proper 'firewire' input.

Thanks for the info guys, but what cable do I need? and any ideas where to get one. Simon I know you have a HV 20 or 30 (like mine) do you use USB?

Cheers

why would he lose quality transferring via usb vs firewire?? he's just transferring data via cable.... one being quicker than the other???? shouldn't have anything to do with quality..it's a digital transfer.

did i miss something here?

Firewire is a better input to transfer (not sure the exact reasons why though). I'm not sure you actually 'lose' quality so to speak, but transferring via firewire is supposed to give better results.

Isnt Firewire just quicker, and a better connection? IE, less chance of errors when transferring? Ive not heard of quality loss with USB either, just slower to transfer, and less secure

That is probably it. Less drop-outs and less chance of getting errors.
