Need help finding MiniDV camcorder with AV in

Hi,
I'm shopping for a MiniDV camcorder. Besides using it to make movies with iMovie, I want to be able to transfer analog video (i.e., VHS) into the unit. I understand that some MiniDV camcorders have an AV/in port for this. I'm having trouble finding such a unit. I'm looking to spend up to $500. Can you please lead me to one or two? Thanks.

James,
Here's a popular model by Sony. (Ya can't go wrong with a Sony).
Sony DCR-HC96 MiniDV 3.3MP Digital Handycam Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom (Includes Handycam Station)
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DCR-HC96-Digital-Handycam-Camcorder/dp/B000E0I5AI
Analog-to-Digital Converter: Yes (with Pass Through)

from Sony $649,
from PricGrabber.com $515 - $937 (depending on merchant)
Above all things, do your homework on camcorder model (features) and price.

  • Need help finding whats wrong with my servlet

    I've been trying to create a simple login page following the tutorial found http://www.roseindia.net/mysql/loginauthentication.shtml
    There is a single JSP (AuthenticateLogin.jsp) and a servlet (LoginAuthentication.java). Basically what has to happen is the user enters the login information in the JSP which sends these info to the servlet. The servlet checks whether the username and password exist in the table and if they do it displays the user if not it says to that the username and/or password is invalid. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA as the IDE, Tomcat as the application server and MySQL 5.0.18 for the database. I'm also using Ant as a build tool.
    The following are my code:
    AuthenticateLogin.jsp
    <head>
         <title>Login Page</title>
         <script type="text/javascript">
              function validate() {
                   var user = document.frm.user
                   var pass = document.frm.pass
                   if ((user == null) || (user == "")) {
                        alert("Please enter a username")
                        user.focus()
                        return false
                   if ((pass == null) || (pass == "")) {
                        alert("Please enter a password")
                        pass.focus()
                        return false
         </script>
    </head>
    <body>

    The problem I'm facing is the validation (checking whether the username and password match to those in the database) isn't working properly. No matter what I enter as the username and password (even if it is the correct pair) it always shows as my username and/or password is invalid. When I check the tomcat (catalina) log the following entry was found:
    {code:java}Exception thrown: [java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver}{code}
    Could someone please show me what I could be doing wrong here? It would be a great help.  Spent a day trying to figure this out

    Can you provide us with your computer model number?  Take a look in Device Manager to see if there is an Imaging Devices group that includes the webcam.  If not, is there an Unknown Device listed?  This would indicate that your webcam is detected, but there is no driver installed.  We can help you find the correct driver if that is the case.  Let's start with the computer model number.  Thanks.

    what's recommended for a video/photo editor that's good in performance ?

    I think you need to get clear on budgets. start with mid range and add all the options and can spend $4,000 or $7,000.
    Go to the Mac Store and do some looking and Google for reviews of software, hardware of course.

  • Need help finding errors.

    I need help finding the error(s) in my code. I am writing a program to convert decimal to binary. It is not an application. It is more of a blue print for an object.
    The Program is:

         private long decimal;
         private long binary;
    //Constructor setes the variable decimal and coverts and sets the variable binary
    public DecimalToBinary(int decValue)

    //This method does the actual conversion from decimal to binary
    public long convert(long dec)
              long remainder = 0; //Start with initial value
         String bin = ""; //Start with a blank string
              while (dec > 0)
              remainder = dec%2; //get remainder
                   dec /=2; //get the number divided by 2
                   bin = remainder + bin; //concatenate the remainder to string
         return Long.parseLong(bin);
         //Accesor methods to get the value of decimal
    public long getDecimal()

    result = decimal +"\t\t\t" +binary;
         name1.getDecimal()

    The error I am getting is:

    I need help finding an old library that it states my ipod is already linked to.  My computer recently had a terrible virus and needed to be wiped clean.  I had to redownload itunes and I bought several songs.  I want to add them to my old library because I had several cd's that I had uploaded.  Is there a way to find that old library and combine them without having to erase all the songs that are currently on my ipod???  Thanks

    Umm.  If you wiped the hard drive, then all old libraries are gone unless you have them on backup.

  • Need help on struts configuration with ColdFusion 10 using IIS

    We need help on struts configuration with ColdFusion 10 using IIS.
    Earlier we were using ColdFusion 8 with IIS 6 for one of our application.  This application internally calls struts. After upgrading to ColdFusion 10 struts calls are not loading. We get 404 error.
    In ColdFusion 8 struts were configured using  actions extension .do in IIS from this file-
    C:\ColdFusion8\runtime\lib\wsconfig\jrun_iis6.dll.
    But in ColdFusion 10 this file is not present as ColdFusion 10 uses Tomcat in place of Jrun.
    Also there is no information in ColdFusion log file.

    doctormirabilis, Welcome to the discussion area!
    1) how can i configure the time capsule in order to operate as a remote base station synchronizing with the relay using the ethernet port?
    Configure the Time Capsule to act as a bridge (not distributing IP addresses). Also configure the Time Capsule to create an 802.11n wireless network with a unique network name (SSID). That's it.
    2) how can i avoid that my powerbook while accessing my wireless network does connect through the relay station instead of using the time capsule?
    Configure the Time Capsule to use a different network name than the WDS link between the 2 AirPort Express (AX). Configure the PowerBook to use the Time Capsule network.
    There are 2 pieces of information that you should be aware of...
    (1) None of the PowerBooks are capable of 802.11n.
    (2) The WDS link cuts your available bandwidth in half. So the wireless link to your neighbor's has a maximum potential of 27 Mbps.
    Let's for a minute assume that you have a Mac compatible with 802.11n. In your configuration the time you could take advantage of the 802.11n speed is when the Mac is sending/recieving data directly from/to the Time Capsule.
    There would be NO speed increase in Internet access. The speed of Internet access is going to be controlled by the slowest link in the path to the Internet. That is probably the connection to the ISP. The next slowest path is the WDS link to your neighbor's.
    Duane,
    I am in a similar situation, sharing internet with my neighbor. Do you think it would be plausible to hook up a vonage phone adapter to time capsule's ethernet port if time capsule is bridging from my neighbor's router in the configuration you have described? A check of my upload speed shows 1.67Mbps (powerbookG4 w/ airport extreme). Vonage reccommends 90kbps minimum upload speed. Am I going to lose some speed putting the Vonag adapter behind time capsule?
    Thank you

    Make sure you are license activated, and you will have to dig through the *vi and relink a subvi.
    Then you should get a white arrow.

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!
