Maybe the original trouble was in the signal to the projector,No it is not Mini DV but DV CAM which is a format originally developed
(I
think) by Sony. The camera is a three chip, rather heavy, the size of a
DigiBeta
but about eight times cheaper! The tape gets more information (better pictures
and sound I think) than Mini DV.
Sorry Michael, both DV CAM and mini DV record at 25 Mbits/sec. The potential
image quality is, therefore, identical in both formats. The difference is
that DV CAM tapes run faster giving a greater track pitch and, theoretically,
less drop-out. Oh, and shorter recording times.
I say theoretically because I have yet to see drop-out in mini DV, but have
found my DV CAM VCR to be a bit "picky", particularly with output from NLE
systems.
Wiggly images sounds like timing jitter in an analogue signal, but what
do
I know?
as projectors are really analogue devices (although they may be connected
to a digital tape player), as they only have a 'S' video input.....BTW,I
know even less!!!
Albert....projecting even less.
