    Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to convert a mini DV tape to VHS using just the vido camera and a VHS recorder?

    The sockets I have on the camera are shown in this doc

    Anyone have any ideas? I need to get it done within the next 5 days, and the uni are very slow!

    Depends on your VCR, but I’d say probably not. You will need a digital input for the signal to the VCR, but it probably won’t have one. You might be able to get around it if the VCR has a SCART in, but it’ll be a bit laborious and might not work.

    could you not use the S-video analogue out and get the audio out from the headphone jack using a stereo mini jack cable with the red/white phono jacks at the other end ?

    like what wet and Neon says . If your VCR has phono “in” on it (yellow phono socket” and audio “white and red sockets” then you may be able to do it using mini jack to phono cables. If you have scart “in” on your VCR you can buy one of them scart plugs that you can plug phono cables into but they dont always seem to work 😕 bare in mind that on the camera itself the mini jacks may be the even minier jacks that are sometimes used on electronic equipment (lord knows why they had to complicate things even more)
    failing all this then perhaps it may be worth looking into places nearby that could do sutch a conversion for you. Look in the yellow pages 😉
