I am thinking of getting a Canon Optura 20 and I want to know if anyone knows how to copy the videos I make directly from my camcorder to a VHS tape. Also does anyone know of a way to transfer the video to the computer using USB instead of FireWire with the Optura 20? I appreciate any help anyone can give! Any major pros or cons against this make and model?
To copy your video to VHS tape, you will need to connect video/audio out from your camera to the video/audio in of the VHS machine. To transfer your video to computer, you will need a capture card. Most camcorder will include the firewire output, so you will need to get a firewire card to bring it into your computer, Unless the Canon Opture 20 has USB2 port.
