Exporting DV back to a Samsung VP-D351

Hi,
Could anyone tell me if they have been successful in exporting DV back to a Samsung VP-D351 camera within iMovie? I can transfer DV from the D351 to the iMac but after editing the movie I cannot copy it back to the camera, I’ve tried all the suggestions on this forum and have had no luck. I’ve Googled for the spec of the D351 and some sites state it has DV-in and some just state DV-out.

When I attempt to copy the movie back to the camera it goes through all the correct steps but my camera will not record, it just says STOP in the viewfinder, sometimes when I attempt it my iMac will completely crash requiring it to be switched off at the mains.

Many thanks for any help on this one,

Dave

hi David:

Welcome to the discussion! 😉

some sites state it has DV-in and some just state DV-out.


The truth is, some recorders bought (or made) in Europe have only the DV in function because there is an extra tax or something on the DV In/Out cameras there (or some such non-sense)
You may need to check your manual I suppose.

Sorry!

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the quick reply! 🙂

In the manual it states:

Recording with a DV connection cable.

1. Set the Power switch to player.
2. Connect the DV cable from the DV jack of the camcorder to the DV jack of the other device.
• Make sure that DV is displayed on the LCD screen.
3. Press the Start/Stop button to begin REC PAUSE mode.
• PAUSE is displayed on the LCD screen.
4. Start playback on the other DV device while you monitor the picture.
5. Press the Start/Stop button to start recording.
6. Press the Start/Stop button to stop recording.

When I try this I do not get “DV” displayed on the LCD (as stated in step 2) and pressing the Start/Stop button has no affect, it just displays “STOP” on the blank LCD. Even though the manual clearly states the camera IS capable of recording in DV mode it doesn’t, I wonder if this is a camera/iMovie compatibility issue?
