Firestreamer Description:

Store 15...20+ GB of files and folders to your digital video camcorder or VCR. Utilizing a patent-pending technology, Firestreamer makes your DV recorder appear as a regular tape drive to other applications running on your computer, so that you can use the powerful Backup Utility, which comes with your Windows operating system, to back up and restore your files and folders to and from videotape.


Operating System Support: WinXP

33333 Firestreamer-DV


As compelling as the Firestreamer-DV concept is, I doubt if I'd want it:

- like all tape drives, it's linear - no random access

- like earlier data-to-VHS schemes, it's still magnetic tape - possible data corruption due to dropouts, especially over time

- too much wear and tear on an expensive DV camcorder or deck (I guess a $300 DV camcorder might work)

- all your DV data archives are worthless without the Firestreamer software

- a Firestreamer license will only work with one unique device - you cannot access your data on any other DV device

- what happens if your Firestreamer-licensed device breaks or otherwise becomes unavailable?

- though a MiniDV tape has more storage capacity than a blank 4.7GB (4.37GB actual) DVD, recordable DVDs are still cheaper per GB of storage
