16/9 DV into a 4/3 camcorder ?

Post by Nounours18200 »

I would like to know if it possible to record (via the DVin connector) a 16/9 video ( ".avi" file stored on my PC ) by using a relatively old 4/3 camcorder: it has a DVin input, but was designed as a 4/3 camcorder.

Thanks

Hi

Interesting thought.

Transferring the Dv-Avi file from the pc to the camera requires no re-coding.
As its just a data transfer I would think it would work.

I have never tried this procedure.

Give it a go, you have nothing to loose, you can always use the tape again.

You will have to capture the data back to VS to prove it worked.

Let us know if you are successful

Regards

Trevor
