MiniDV Video Tape Format and History

History
The MiniDV was the first introduced in 1998. It allows you to record 1 hour of video on a cassette about the size of a box of tic-tacs.

Tech Stuff
Mini DV tapes are the smallest of the video formats. They take and maintain crystal clear images because of the nature of a digital format. MiniDV tapes record their signal at 525 lines of horizontal resolution, substantially higher than 8mm or regular VHS formats, and due to their higher band width greater color fidelity and detail is possible. The video signal is recorded as DV video which is the same as Digital8. Due to the digital nature of the recording, no signal loss will result from dubbing, so they make an excellent master copy. All MiniDV camcorders have a firewire (also known as i-link and IEEE 1394), allowing easy downloading of the video to a modern computer with a firewire port for editing.

Unsolicited Customer Testimonial:

Ladies/Gentlemen:
Yesterday, I received my 16 canisters of film and the transfer materials (Mini DVs and VHS tapes) as promised. I am impressed with your professional handling of this entire transaction, from your Internet site right through the entire process and ultimate return of the film along with the finished tapes.
I have since had the opportunity to view about half of the almost 4,000 feet I had transferred and was delightfully surprised: The quality is far better than anything I expected for an end result. The images on the screen challenge those being received on cable TV. Thanks for a job well done.
