Dear LM_Netters, I know this topic was recently covered but I need some clarification. Some years ago my school purchased a Sony digital camcorder that uses the 8mm tapes. We use iMovie to edit and then send it back to the camera to transfer to a VHS tape. The camera isn't working right and I received the go ahead to purchase a new sturdy one. Now here's the problem as I see it; the new camcorders are using the DVDs but we don't have any DVD players at school. Also can I still edit the DVD movies with iMovie? Can I just plug the camcorder into the TV and record on a VHS tape? I know this is defeating the purpose of the advanced technology. Does anyone have any recommendations for camcorders and for creating a set-up that isn't too complicated. Let's face it, I'm the one who will have to do all video work if it's too complicated for the staff. One last thing, I was told to spend $500 to $900 for a package deal that includes everything. Any information and ideas would be deeply appreciated as I don't have time to do comprehensive research as they want the order ASAP. Thank you all in advance for your expertise!!!!
