My camera uses fire wire so that is a must. Don't care about freeview always use sky+ so any programs recorded will be either scart or HDMI or RF analogue transfer don't even have an aerial up.
Want to be able to record onto HD then transfer onto DVD like my old Philips did cutting out adverts manually or bad bits of DV recorded with camera.
Philips now US want a replacement but it's the fire wire requirement which seems to be problem.
Any ideas of suitable unit. If has freeview bonus but not required. TV is Panasonic already have a Blueray player with internet link plus sky+ has internet so not worried about internet link.
It is all to do with my Sony DCR-HC22E HandyCam I have always used the Philips DVDR3440H HDD & DVD Player / Recorder and when that failed looked for another method to transfer. My Sony PCG-8131M laptop runs Vista and USB with DCR-HC22E stopped with XP so no drivers. Fire wire just does not see the DCR-HC22E never had aerial lead that would be an option if I had one as do have a scart to RF unit.
I have component output from camera but no component input to PC. So wonder if a simple component to USB adaptor is way to go simple some thing like this.
I am not worried about super high quality it's just camcorder easier to carry than Nikon D7000 SLR and less of a security problem.
Open to ideas.
