Guest Anonymous Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 I think the reason Sony doesn't include a digital out is because minidisc recorders are used to record sync sound in the film world. Professional ones are used that cost thousands of dollars and they have special software that goes with them too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlandsun Posted March 30, 2003 Report Share Posted March 30, 2003 I've never heard that before but it makes sense. I have a video (65MB, DivX) of a concert I just played a few weeks ago; my brother shot the video on his Sony Digital-8 camcorder and I also recorded using my SoundProfessionals binaural mics. I got the video into my computer over Firewire, no problem there. The audio went from my MZ-N10 analog out to my JB920 home deck, which passed it thru to its digital out, which I recorded thru USB on the PC. It took me some effort to synchronize the MD audio with the video, particularly since there are cuts in the video. (The gig is primarily me on fiddle and this extremely talented oboeist, playing Irish tunes together, with guitar and harp accompaniment.) I think the result came out well, even if the video is ... erratic. http://24.126.120.178/buttonw/projectA.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugo Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Most likely, Sony doesn't include optical out because they get freaked out when people make digital copies of music. This is strange because they already have SCMS for that purpose. As usual, Sony just like to annoy MD users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
