Background

Camcorder owners in Europe have always been at a disadvantage compared with e.g. America. Not only have their camcorders traditionally cost more, but also the equipment is less well endowed!

Americans have always been able to record onto their video cameras, they have been able to use them as mini-video recorders. The reason for this, apparently, is the tax and import restrictions in the EU (European Union). Camcorders with the inputs enabled are regarded as video recorders and, as such attract a higher level of duty. They are also included in manufacturers' import quotas for video recorders. So the more camcorders with video inputs they import, the fewer video recorders they can import. Daft or what?

How to gain a digital recorder from your Sony DV Camcorder, how does it work?

Untill beginning 2002 most of all DV camcorders are designed and manufactured with the DV input enabled. The European Union import duty is higher on DV-IN enabled camcorders than on camcorders that are DV-IN Disabled. Therfore most camcorders imported into the EU have software in it, were DV-Input is Disabled. DV-IN Disabled camcorders have a software that turns the DV-Input off, Lremote, PanaDVin, JVCDVin and Hardware-Widget change this software and simply switches this back on.
Now, you will be able to import your video footage to your computer, edit it with a DV application and export it back to your DV camcorder!

That’s it, you are now a owner of a high-quality digital videorecorder.
