My Canon MiniDV Camcorder works extremely well when recording off the FIRST feed. If I had known you guys needed help getting some footage done I would have lent a hand at the local regionals I attended. I'll keep this camcorder handy for next year. The program I use to capture the video from the camcorder to my PC is Intervideo DVD Creator 8 Plat. Which I think converts it to MPEG or something like that (must go check when I get a new firewire cable). Anyways I'll keep in touch. I know SOAP has got there own area for championships but if you need help w/ anything find me on archimedes or in the area I'll have my Canon w/ me setting up in the Archimedes Field.
