...real surprise was the HD1?s file compatibility. After my experience last year with JVC?s Everio hard-disk camcorder, I?ve been skeptical of downloading files to the computer to burn to DVD. But Sanyo includes Ulead?s DVD MovieFactory, a rudimentary program for cutting film together quickly and dumping it to DVD. It even has a direct-to-disc feature that lets you burn straight from camcorder to DVD. Of course, the requirement is that your PC has a DVD burner. Also, you will lose the high-definition video resolution when you burn to DVD, but at least...
Just when MiniDV digital-tape camcorders are becoming fairly commonplace, the terrain changes again. You probably know a little about DVD camcorders, but did you know some manufacturers have decided to do away with discs and tapes altogether?

The good part is that it forces you to get into the worthwhile pastime of video editing. On the other hand, even JVC's "simple" approach to burning a DVD is fairly elaborate: attaching the camcorder, saving the video files, locating them, loading them into a video editing program, shuffling that to a DVD burning program and then waiting until the disc is ready. Hey JVC-how about a one-click straight...
...spot belongs to midrange cams, priced as low as $300. Thanks to tech advances - and free editing software - any kid or parent can indulge a filmmaking urge at modest cost, with great results.
