Unfortunately, my 200 MC camcorder seems to be dead. I got an Optura 40 which I believe is a generation behind the 200 MC. Will I lose any video quality when transferring videos through the optura 40? Note that I am planning to use the firewire port on the camera to transfer the videos. I still need to find the right software to do that...</P> Mon, 01 Jun 2020 05:28:00 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Read-miniDV-from-Optura-40-but-Recorded-on-Optura-200MC/m-p/308397#M4140 mula 2020-06-01T05:28:00Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Read-miniDV-from-Optura-40-but-Recorded-on-Optura-200MC/m-p/308406#M4141 <P>miniDV records in digital, so the actual data being transfered to your computer will be identical.</P> Mon, 01 Jun 2020 10:06:31 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Read-miniDV-from-Optura-40-but-Recorded-on-Optura-200MC/m-p/308406#M4141 rs-eos 2020-06-01T10:06:31Z
