Creator imports direct from most MiniDV camcorders, lets you trim and split clips, and converts them for most playback devices, including DVD players, iPads, Android devices and YouTube. With Roxio Creator 2012, you can transfer and convert your MiniDV tapes before they degrade or become obsolete. You'll no longer need a working DV camera or FireWire-equipped PC.

Even if all you do is transfer the raw DV files (which are large, about 10GB per hour) to hard drive or Blu-ray data disc for archiving, you'll be in much better shape than leaving them on tape. You'll need to convert them for your tablet, streaming box, website, DVD player, and most other devices.ДЇinally, all tapes degrade with time, not just analog ones. Tapes can be played in the camera or in a MiniDV tape player, and AVI DV files can be played on your PC. Second, very few devices support playback of the DV video format. Otherwise you'll have to pay big bucks to a specialized service bureau with DV equipment. But if you think since MiniDV is digital, the tapes will last forever, you'd be wrong.ДЇirst, you can only transfer these tapes to your computer if you still have a working MiniDV camera and a PC with an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) port.

MiniDV was state of the art from about 1995-2005, when high-definition cameras and AVCHD started taking over. Early converts to digital camcorders likely have a pile of MiniDV tapes chronicling everything from weddings to birthday parties.
