Conclusion: Innovative Software - Still Not Error-Free

Ad

With a DV camcorder, DV Streamer PRO software lets you save any data from your PC or notebook on a DV tape. Basically, it transforms a DV camera into a tape drive. That said, you can save up to 8.7 GB on a 60-minute tape costing not much more than $3. The manufacturer promises max data storage of 15 GB if long-play mode is switched on and the error correction deactivated.

This feature was not without its glitches in our test. The program's sporadic crashes were also a problem, forcing us to repeat the save process. Once DV Streamer rectifies these shortcomings, users will get a powerful tool for a price of $50. The following table shows which cameras are compatible with the software. The software can be downloaded from: DV Streamer.
