The Canon manuel states to use miniDV HD tape. I have heard that reg miniDV tape will work. HD tape costs about $11 each & reg version about $3. Can one use the cheaper version & if so are there any down sides doing so?
Another question-can one get HD signal from the component video output or does one need to use the HDMI output?
