i have the canon mini dv digital camcorder. the problem is, although it's very small and nice, i'd like to make copies of certain videos on to regular size vhs tapes. is it possible? if so, does anyone know how i can do that? :confused:

You camcorder should (depends on the model) have audio and video out. You need to connect those outputs with an rca cable and plug that into the audio and video in on your vcr. You'll probably have to set the channel of the input on your vcr to 3 or 4, depending on how you set it up. Start recording on the vcr first, and press play on your camcorder while it is in vtr mode.
