ADVC110 Digital In to Computer

[ScotManG]

Hi, I'm very new to video editing. I bought the ADVC110 to convert our older 8mm camcorder tapes and that is working well. We just bought a Canon ZR850 camcorder now (mini-DV)... should I use the ADVC110 with this new camcorder as well? Does that buy me anything? Seems it would, but I can't tell... I want to begin editing the new tapes from the ZR850 camcorder onto the computer (HP Media Center PC where I use Sony Vegas). Thanks for the help (the ADVC100 works great for our old 8mm conversions to DVD!). Thanks again.

No, the ADVCs are for converting analog video and audio to digital form, if you have a MiniDV camera with a Firewire connection, you already have a signal in the form that the ADVC outputs. Just connect the MiniDV camera in place of the ADVC.
