Supported Camcorders

This list is based on user feedback. If your particular DV is not in the list, it means we have no information, so, please, don't ask us. Instead, if you really want to know, just try it with the Evaluation version of DVStreamer.

Another important point to note : the fact that some users have reported a particular type of DV as "not working" does not necessarily mean that yours will not work. The reverse is also true. A "working camera" might not work for your particular set-up. It all depends on the particular combination of PC, OS (and SP level), DirectX and other registered components, DV and operator's skills. So again, when in doubt, just try your DV with the Evaluation version of DVStreamer. 

Recent additions to the list : Sony DCR-PC105E, Sony DCR-PC120 (NTSC), JVC GR-DV3000ED, JVC DX95K, JVC GR-DVL557, Panasonic NV-GS15EG (PAL).

In general, it is difficult to predict if a particular camcorder works with DVStreamer. A good sign is compatibility with Adobe Premiere, if your DV is given as Full Support on Adobe's support site. Check the following URLs :  http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/dvhdwrdb.html?  and http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/pdfs/device.pdf. You may also check Apple's iMovie compatibility on Apple's site http://www.apple.com/imovie/compatibility/camcorder.html.
