If you mean MiniDVD (8 cm. DVD disks), you can use your regular DVD player to access the media. Just treat it like a regular DVD and copy the contents to your hard disk. You don't need any software to do this.
If you are working with MiniDV tapes, use the FW connection to stream copy. Just plug it into your computer and use any of the suggested software. If you're working with Mac OS, you can use Final Cut Pro, iMovie...
Or plug it directly into your DVD recorder if you want to transfer it to DVD. Make sure it has the correct 4 pin plug.

The Dazzle works pretty well for what I need it to do, namely transfer mini-DVD video to digital video so I can work with it. What it is not really good at is handling the audio transfer of the process. While the video portion comes across nice and clear, the audio is always breaking up, about once every couple of seconds or so. That is really annoying to listen to. Most of the time I end up splitting the video and audio, then deleting the audio altogether.
Can anyone suggest a transfer device that can export both video and audio in a consistent manner?
