Mini DV is one of three digital formats in which sound and picture recordings on cassette tape are done, the other two are DV CAM and DV PRO. Being a digital recording system, the Mini DV recordings have a good sound and sharp picture recording and playback quality.

Mini DV is the most widely used DV tape format of all digitally recorded cassette tapes, and the reason for its popularity is its compatibility with almost all kinds of players. The Mini DV tape can even be played on devices meant for DVPRO and DVCAM playback. This is because the tiny Mini DV tape is identical to DV CAM and DVPRO tapes in all aspects except the format in which recording is done. The Mini DV tapes are small and available in lengths of 30, 60 and 80 minutes.

The commonly used Mini DV products are cassettes, camcorders, recorders, and players. Most Mini DV recorders and players are available as two-in-one systems in the form of Mini DV decks, which may additionally have features like editing and conversion of recordings. Mini DV camcorders are compact and light, and Sony camcorders are extremely popular due to their features like MPEG movie recording and night time recording, all at a reasonable price. PanasonicÂ’s players have minimal features and meant only for playback purpose, and due to this they are a very cost effective option for those not interested in too many high tech features and buttons. JVC and Panasonic are also popular Mini DV recorder brands.

Sometimes, despite its compatibility with other devices, recordings in Mini DV format may need to be converted to either DVD or multimedia. This can be done either through automated software and hardware systems or manually. Mini DV conversion is inexpensive, and it can be done very easily by amateurs as well as professionals.

The Mini DV market is still evolving, with new products being introduced almost every day. Going through Mini DV product reviewing websites will give you an idea of the products available, their prices, features, and compatibility with other recorder/player devices. This will help you select the Mini DV device best suited to your needs and pocketbook. This will also inform you on any possible upgrading for your product, should there be need for it in future.

Mini DV [http://www.e-minidv.com] provides detailed information about mini DVs, mini DV camcorders, mini DV conversion and more. Mini DV is affiliated with DVD R Duplication.

Why do speaker cables hook up the way they do?

I never got this. In order to secure something properly a jack should be used. Why do speaker wires and receivers not have regular jacks to hook up to each other? Why do they make it that you can only fasten the knobs in the back of the receiver to hold the wires? It seems like such backwards thinking!

Unlike the other connections on the back of the receiver, speakers need a significant amount of current and a very low-resistance connection. Mashing down wire under a screw clamp is actually a very good way to do that.

The spring clips on a lot of cheaper receivers and speakers, not so much.

RCA plugs do have good current capacity but they aren't really compatible with the heavier speaker wire. You also wouldn't want to risk someone plugging the output from their DVD player into a speaker output by accident.

Some equipment does use "five way" binding posts that can take banana plugs, but then you have to put banana plugs on the ends of your speaker wires. Most do not come that way and most add-on plugs use very small screw clamps that don't provide as low-resistance or reliable a connection as the simple wire-under-screw-clamp scheme.

A lot of audiophiles with high end gear prefer to use speaker wires terminated in spade lugs. These are crimped onto the ends of the wires and then used with the screw terminals, or even with the five-way binding posts. These really provide the lowest resistance. If you get a good crimp it's very reliable, too, as there is no possibility of stray wire strands shorting to each other or to the receiver rear panel.

Professional gear has used a lot of different connectors for speaker wires over the years. Lately they have been moving to "Speakon" connectors, a modified version of XLRs. This is an excellent connector for the job, but it is too large to put six or eight of them on the back of a home theater receiver. They could be used at the speaker end, though.
