I've never noticed a massive drop in quality when comparing my DCR-TRV captures vs analog cam CCD-TRV captures. Even on the firewire path. To the point that I actually ALWAYS do a lossless pass on...

Agreed, this is just what I had handy to test with. And it's easier to just cut the circle hole instead of dremeling out a rectangle.

Got sick of pulling out the TBC7000 just to switch from NTSC to PAL. Wired in a quick little toggle switch for it. Need to get a label maker for a proper label on the back lol

I am and have already pulled most of that content down. But they don't seem to be heavy into TBC repair or AG1980 repair like a few others. The more documentation the better.

I'd always pick a higher end Panasonic over the JVCs. But not those older models, unless they're getting totally rebuilt. I just grabbed a PAL NV-HS950, but seems they're getting harder to come by....
