I have a Sony DCR-DVD505 and I was wondering what is the easiest, simplest way to transfer from the mini disc to a dvd, so I can make copies and send them out to my friends and family. Specially the “Live” up and coming 50th Anniversay Running of the “Daytona 500″
Please let me know if you would. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

Does anyone have any advice when comparing the Aiptek DV2 and the new Flip Ultra. I want a small device that I can use for making video to send to family and kep with me at all times. Does anyone have a comparison as far as ease of use/quality for these two? I really dont see how the Aiptek downloads but am assuming to software provided. I will keep researching.

Thanks in advance.—C. Lovely Continue reading »
