Does this delete the footage on the camcorder hard drive or tape? or does it just copy it

It does not delete footage on the tape. If you are afraid of accidentally erasing your tape, all tapes have a tab or device that prevents over-writing the footage or accidental deletion.

You're original footage is perfectly safe and is only copied. The Recorder might be able to pause/play the source, but there is no way it can erase anything from the source.

It uses minidv tapes. The picture shows a hard drive attachment that will record direct to disk. But it is pretty expensive. It can shoot HDV, DVCAM, and DV to miniDV tape.

Does it burn already copied film? I'm a coach. I have burnt copies of game film. Can I burn copies off the burnt one? Hope that makes sense

Yes it will copy over the oldest file. I only pull the card out every 3 or 4 months to make sure it is still working since they do go bad. I have another dash cam that also copies over oldest file, so I am thinking most if not all work the same way.

I use regular simple editing software after copying to my computer. Best camera/video I have ever used. Buy it. It is worth the price and then some.

It erases the oldes footage and continues recording. No manual tasks required

No you shouldn't as it records them as separate mp4 files (I think it's mp4). You tell it where to store the files so you can back them up if preferred.

It depends on how long you wish to save the footage. Generally the hard drive is adequate since once there is not an incident there is no need to save the footage and it can be written over. You can download footage of interest to the through the USB onto a flash drive, etc. The drive space can also be extended using the motion sensor feature in that only if there is motion the footage is recorded. I don't use this feature and the drive can store almost 30 days of footage. The only limitation is when it begins to record over old footage it erases the entire drive and begins again so old footage is lost. It depends on how long you wish to save the footage.

I recommend using Nero Vision, as part of the Nero Ultimate Suite. It will recode and burn a wide variety of video files (*.avi, *.wmv, *.mp4). You just drag and drop, select menu template, and burn away. Yes, some camera may allow a direct to burn function, but Nero Vision will do it anyway.

Hi. This happened to me once but I am not sure how exactly I deleted the footage from the full memory card. It was NOT so straight forward. I think you probably have an external memory card, too, and you may have just deleted the footage from the external memory. Make sure in the setup menu to select the "built in memory" so you know you are deleting the stuff from it. Once it is not full, you will not see the message any more. I did not need to do anything extra to reset the error message. Good luck.BTW, you can always check the memory usage on each card from the setup menu.

Capture??? I don't understand the term in relation to dubbing video tapes which is what this unit is designed to do. It removes the "MacroVision" copy guard integrated into prerecorded tapes. For this, it works fine.It has no ability to make tapes look better, remove tape defects, brighten, detail, sharpen, etc. But, it should not distort the analog video signal it will pass through from input to output.

It has a 500 gig drive and the cameras are motion so it only records when something walks pass and it also just goes threw a cycle on the history it automatically deletes stuff from months ago so you won't miss out on your new footage mine is still working like it just came out the box

Typically 2-4 weeks depending on how you have the camera recording set up. Motion will free up hard drive space and then depends how much motion is being picked up. The hard drive will over write itself....so once full it will delete the oldest data and record with new.

Yes Gordon, it has a loop record function. So when memory is full the old one is deleted automatically to make room for new video. Any Save ON Storage (SOS) video will not be deleted automatically (this happens when you press the SOS button).

Yes - you delete them just like any other files (you must connect the camera to your PC). You can also copy them, email them, etc.But the files are big, so you almost have to delete them to be able to film more.

I have not seen a way to do that but the system overwrites the oldest video when the hard drive runs out of space. Ao in that respect you don't have to worry about it.
