[QUOTE="john, post: 2168026, member: 5463"] Virtually ALL types of media have an acceptable quality. --- It's the recording quality that matters. Establish which camera has the greatest DEFINITION, and use the appropriate media. A video has to have good definition to be any good, so look for a camera with the best. Any shop will be able to tell you, so check as many as you can before deciding. My Cam corder uses a "Verbatim mini DVD-R" which records 1.4Gb of data and has 30 minutes recording time on each disc. These mini DVDs can be played on any DVD player, including TV (through a DVD player) & computer When purchasing, ensure you buy the correct type. There is a DVD-R and a DVD+R ( Minus & Negative). Don't get the wrong one because it won't work. The mini DVDs can be transferred (copied) to computer or hard drive (for later transferral to 4.7Gb DVDs) but such a process will depend ENTIRELY on your Computer Hardware In summary :- Buy Camera with maximum definition - plus - Mini DVD capability. Store mini DVDs ,& also copy to Computer. Flash memory---- Can be a little tricky to use as it has to be removed, copied ,then replaced Hard disk drives are too much of a hassle as they also have to be copied. Hope you get some GREAT DVDs.
