A. The best camcorder with the best audio capture ability is a camcorder that has a MIC port.
Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes � four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video. Not to mention, but the computer you upload your HD files to jas to have at least a 1 GB video card and a separate Audio card that can support Direct X 9 technology, you normal every day computer has massive troubles with HD video. Consumer level HD camcorders interpolate the video. This means they take one frame, make up the next 4 or 5 frames, take a frame and repeat this, over and over, for the remainder of the video, every video it takes is like this. With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a MIC jack. You will need a Firewire (IEEE1394) card ($25 to 30) for the computer and a Firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.

I used to make a daily Vloog and post it to youtube. I do that no more. Since the channel layout redesign in early March, I, like many others, abandoned youtube for other sites. Protests are going on, several to be exact. But anyway, this is what I used to capture audio - http://asimplelife.ca/boss.html I used my 3 Canon ZR MiniDV tape camcorders to shoot all my Vlogg material, then use my NLE, Pinnacle Studio 14 Ultimate to edit and make into a MPEG 2 1080P file for upload to youtube. It worked seamlessly and I had no issues whatsoever doing it that way. These days, my Vlogg, shot, edited and saved the same way is uploaded to Face Book.

Is there something that can transfer mini DV & tapes to DVD?
Q. I have mini dvs & those little tapes from my camcorders. Is there a way to put those onto dvd? Thanks.
A. Little bit of confusion in your question Ashley - mini DV is the very small tapes - do you mean that as well as tapes you have some mini DVDs ?

The software being used is Ulead VideoStudio - you can download a free trial to see if it works for you from :-

If you also have the mini DVDs then do it this way
Use a programme such as Ulead VideoStudio - you take the mini-disc out of your camcorder and put it into the DVD tray of your PC making sure it sits centrally in the little depression made for it. You may have to 'finalise' the mini DVD your camera manual will tell you how to do that - but you should note that once a DVD is finalised you cannot record any more video on it.
Inside VideoStudio you select "Insert DVD" and point the programme at the DVD and follow the prompts and the video is copied from the disc into the timeline of VideoStudio so that you can edit it - add lots of different videos together - add titles/music/narration - make a file that you can e-mail or upload to 'Youtube' etc. and finally burn to a full size DVD to play in a standard player.
You can add together videos from tape and miniDVD within the one programme
