4.4 Find the best camera<br />

With the demise of MiniDV camcorders around the world in early 2010 we have had to change the<br />

way we get live video feeds into Timewarp 4.<br />

A few years ago it was all MiniDV connected to the computer via Firewire (Option 1), now we also<br />

use Video to USB converters (Option 2) which now means you can connect to any camera that has<br />

a A/V output.<br />

Also see 'How do I find the best USB converter?'<br />
