Thank you once again, Bob! You have been most helpful. I will keep my eye open for the best deal. Best wishes!

Thank you Bob! I appreciate your feedback. In further researching my questions, I have stumbled upon the Sony DAT format. Are there any drawbacks/advantages of this format over MiniDisc?

I would like to capture secondary audio as a backup source when recording video with miniDV format. I would use this secondary capture for editing in post-production on Final Cut Pro. My idea is using a MiniDisc with a remote wireless mic system strategically placed near the sound source. I would then have a clean audio track for the final edit. Is this possible with MiniDisc, and if so, what would be the best configuration? How would I get the audio into my G5 Mac for editing? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
