MiniDV

One indicates by MiniDV the small cassettes (size S) on which one records digital video in format FD (DIGITAL Video).
This video format goes back to 1996 and makes it possible to record vidéos on cassettes numerically with weak a compression for each image, which facilitates the direct transfer of the video towards a computer for then publishing it. The recorded digital video is compressed thanks to a method DCT ata rate of 25 Mb a second.
Cassettes FD exist in two formats:

• cassettes FD (size " L") measure 120 X roughly 90 X 12 mm and can contain up to 4,6 hours of numerical videos (either 6,9 hours in mode Long Play).

• the cassettes MiniDV (size " S") measure 65 X roughly 48 X 12 mm and are available of versions 30 min. (that is to say 45 min. in mode Long Play), 60 min. (90 min. in LP) and 80 min. (120 min. in LP).
