Camcorders

I have two very large boxes of old mini-DV and Hi-8 tapes I have to get rid of. They have to be completely destroyed for legal reasons, so I can't just throw them out, and degaussing them one-by-one will take months.

Is there, like, a microwave-type degausser where I can just stick in a whole bunch at once and zap them? Or something?

I am going to make and sell dvd's (after uploading footage and editing) and am looking for a good starter camcorder. the dcr-sr100 has a hard drive and i was wondering if that is direct-to-edit? i hear that the format still needs to be converted before it can be edited and used on a computer. i know that the hdr-hc3 will have higher quality as it has 3ccds vs 1ccd on the sr100. does the sr100 shoot high enough quality to shoot mtn bike footage and produce for sale? i guess i am only interested in the sr100 because i think that it might be d-t-e. otherwise could you tell me if i need anything other than a firewire port on my comp to upload footage from the hdr-hc3? also, any suggestions for the editing software, e.g., windvd or sony vegas?

That whould be my first camcoder and I desided to be a mini DV? But which one?I can pay 500 euro (more or less) and my priorities are high quality video( high definition if possible with 500euro) and easy transfer to my pc , usb or firewire (is there any true difference between those two?), without losing any quality during the process.Secondary I whould like a long lasting buttery( 1h 30 min ++) a good LCD monitor and a friendly menu(supporting greek???meybe I ask for to much...).That is all and I am sorry for any spelling mistakes.
I am looking forward for your answers.

I have used the drivers from the disk and downloaded from the website. I have checked the cable to make sure it was connected and working properly. I am running Windows XP Home SP2. I am at a loss as to what to do next.

The instructions manual indicates that we need to have a ferrite core attached to the DC40 digital camera adaptor if it is Asia region. Will using the adaptor without the ferrite core damage the unit?

We just recently decided to buy a camcorder for home recording, and while I have done some research on line, I still am undecided as to what format I should buy.

I am looking for a small and handy cam, with image stabilisation and a good optical zoom (26-28x). I would like good picture and sound quality. I do not need gadgets or special effects and I dont need a still picture function. I obviously want something reliable, so I would need to go with a recognised brand and one which provides a good after sale service.

As for recording media (sigh). We have a Windows xp with a CD recorder and a DVD player (no record). I do not intend to do much editing but would like the option of deleting unwanted files. I want to be able to easily store (not necessarily on the PC) and view (no TV or video in my house) my videos, and am still unsure of which media to go for.

My budget is around $300.

Thank for your help on this one!

I am hoping to buy a new camcorder soon.
Would like to be able to shoot, download to computer and "edit" before final copy of dvd.
Some of my filming will take place over a long period of time/weeks. Is there a unit that will allow you to change "work" in mid-stream? Budget allows about 250.00 Thanks a million!
What is the difference between "hi-8" and the new mini-dvd? Can you download the hi-8 and edit it first???
