Consumer-grade tapeless camcorders include a USB port to transfer video onto a computer.

Consumer-grade disk-style chippers usually have a material diameter capacity of 6 to 18 inches ( 15-46 cm ).

Consumer-grade products generally no longer contain benzene because of its link to certain cancers.

* DV, MiniDV — used in most of today's videotape-based consumer camcorders ; designed for high quality and easy editing ; can also record high-definition data ( HDV ) in MPEG-2 format

Progressive-scan DV camcorders for 60 Hz market record 24-frame / s video using 2-3 pulldown and 30-frame / s video using 2-2 pulldown.

Progressive-scan DV camcorders for 50 Hz market record 25-frame / s video using 2-2 pulldown.

24 frame / s recording is available only on professional DV camcorders and requires pulldown removal if editing at native frame rate is required.

Large or L-size cassettes are accepted by most standalone DV tape recorders and are used in many shoulder-mount camcorders.

Regular DV tape uses Metal Evaporate ( ME ) formulation, which was pioneered for use in Hi8 camcorders.

Tape-based Panasonic camcorders do not use small DV cassettes, effectively preventing use of ME tape.

In 1999 Sony retrofitted its 8-mm camcorders with DV encoding scheme, creating Digital8.

* Panasonic DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra camcorders can record DV ( as well as DVCPRO ) onto P2 cards.

* Some Panasonic AVCHD camcorders ( AG-HMC80, AG-AC130, AG-AC160 ) record DV video onto Secure Digital memory cards.

* Most DV and HDV camcorders can feed live DV stream over IEEE 1394 interface to an external file-based recorder.

This container is used primarily on Windows-based computers, though Sony offers two tapeless recorders, the HDD-based HVR-DR60 and the CompactFlash-based HVR-MRC1K, for use with DV / HDV camcorders that can record in DV-AVI format either making a file-based copy of the tape or bypassing tape recording altogether.

Panasonic AVCHD camcorders uses Type 2 DV-AVI for recording DV video onto Secure Digital memory card.

* MXF-DV wraps DV video into MXF container, which is presently used on P2-based camcorders ( Panasonic ) and on XDCAM / XDCAM EX camcorders ( Sony ).

Nearly all DV camcorders and decks have IEEE 1394 ( FireWire, i. LINK ) ports for digital video transfer.

Camcorders that offer video transfer over USB usually do not deliver full DV quality-usually it is 320x240 video ( except for the Sony DCR-PC1000 camcorder and some Panasonic camcorders providing transfer of a full-quality DV stream via USB ).

However, due to concerns by the entertainment industry about the format's lack of copy protection, only the smaller MiniDV cassettes used with camcorders became commonplace, with the full-sized DV cassettes restricted entirely to professional applications.

In the mainstream consumer camcorder market, DV, DVD, and — eventually — solid state memory-based camcorders replaced S-VHS-C camcorders.

Other digital consumer camcorders record in DV or HDV format on tape and transfer content over FireWire ( some also use USB 2. 0 ) to a computer, where the huge files ( for DV, 1GB for 4 to 4. 6 minutes in PAL / NTSC resolutions ) can be edited, converted, and ( with many camcorders ) also recorded back to tape.

Generally, HDV devices are capable of playing and recording in DV format, though this is not required by HDV specification.

In the middle of 2005 Sony released its first consumer HDV model, the HDR-HC1, which had a single CMOS sensor, electronic stabilization system and was capable of recording in DV and HDV 1080i modes.

Presently the HVR-S270 is the only HDV camcorder capable of recording onto full-size DV cassettes.

Tape-based DV variants, except for DVCPRO Progressive, do not support native progressive recording, therefore progressively acquired video is recorded within interlaced video stream using pulldown.

While low-quality at first, consumer digital video increased rapidly in quality, first with the introduction of playback standards such as MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 ( adopted for use in television transmission and DVD media ), and then the introduction of the DV tape format allowing recording direct to digital data and simplifying the editing process, allowing non-linear editing systems ( NLE ) to be deployed cheaply and widely on desktop computers with no external playback / recording equipment needed.

DV is a format for recording and playing back of digital video.

Tape is transported 80 % faster compared to baseline DV, resulting in shorter recording time.

Accordingly, tape is transported 50 % faster, which reduces recording time by one third compared to DV.

DV was originally designed for recording onto magnetic tape.

MiniDV cassettes are used for recording baseline DV, DVCAM as well as HDV.

Panasonic video recorders that accept medium cassette can play back from and record to medium cassette in different flavors of DVCPRO format ; they will also play small cassettes containing DV or DVCAM recording, via an adapter.

Nevertheless, manufacturers often label cassettes with DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO HD and indicate recording time with regards to the label posted.

Cassettes labeled as DV indicate recording time of baseline DV ; another number can indicate recording time of Long Play DV.

This allowed recording 60 minutes of DV video onto two-hour Video8 / Hi8 cassette.

With proliferation of tapeless camcorder video recording, DV video can be recorded on optical discs, solid state flash memory cards and hard disk drives and used as computer files.

In 1999 Sony backported the DV recording scheme to 8-mm systems, creating Digital8.

Digital8 equipment uses the same videocassettes as analog recording Hi8 equipment, but differs in that the signal is not analog audio / analog video, but is encoded digitally ( using the industry-standard DV codec.

For recording 24p to tape in formats which typically do not support 24p, such as DV, options include PsF ( Progressive segmented Frame ), 2: 3 Pulldown and advanced pulldown.

A multimedia computer for non-linear editing of video will usually have a video capture card to capture analog video and / or a FireWire connection to capture digital video from a DV camera, with its video editing software.

In practice, " high potency " usually means substantially increased vitamins C and B, with some other enhanced vitamin and mineral levels, though some minerals may still be much less than DV.

If a character's Stat + Skill already meets or exceeds the DV, it is usually considered an automatic success without making a die roll.
