Thanks, DVTimes. Sorry, I am not sure what you mean by re-scanning, because I thought that a miniDV tape, as opposed to VHS, was digital video data that could be copied losslessly through a firewire cable from a camcorder to a computer. I have used the free program WinDV to do that. The program places the data in an avi file which can be viewed using a standard video player.
Are you saying that one needs to do more work with the copied video once it is on the hard drive? I was pretty sure I had done all that was necessary. The original video was from 2005. Thank you for your input.
