MiniDV VIDEO TRANSFER VIDEO WAVE 8

[Holden]

So, all I friggin want to do is make a copy of my MiniDV cassette, but I only have one camera;

I created a "raw" AVI capture from the MiniDV and saved it to my external HDD.

Now, I'm trying to "output as" the video from my HDD back to a blank MiniDV.

So, I setup all the requirements like, Destination, Purpose, Video File Quality and I think they're right.

The FILE NAME box gave me a little trouble cause Suxio wants me to save the "production" first or something, but the last box is what's giving me the biggest troubles now....

 

the ONLY button highlighted in the OUTPUT box is "create video file" the others are greyed out!

I thought that was kinda weird since I already have the video created, but just to make Roxio happy I created it.... again. So, on my external HDD there's now a 2nd copy of the video just w/ a different name.

 

So, how can I get Roxio to lemme Output the file to the MiniDV camera w/o having to re-create a file that's already there or that I've already captured?

 

Thanks everybody!

I don't think there is way. That dialog box is 'Make Movie' and I suppose it was designed to 'make' the file first and then output to the DV camcorder.

 

I know it doesn't solve the issue, but there is a free app called WinDV that will capture and transfer back any file on your hard drive to digital camcorder. Easy find... use your favorite search engine.
