Hi T.R.E. -- I guess you are asking questions about using a Canon ZR25 DVcam? Most of the photo in the gallery where you posted your questions were actually taken using a Nikon CP4500 still camera. However, I have shot both video footage and still photos with the Canon ZR25. You have to have a DVtape in the camera to shoot video. There really isn't any way around that. However, you can shoot still photos if you have one of the small memory cards that goes in the slot on the side of that camera. Unfortunately, the photos aren't very high in resolution, but they are better than what you will get if you do a frame grab from video footage. When you shoot photos while in the still photo setting, I think the image is 640x480 pixels. The photos are a little rough (especially compared to how good the digital cameras are now), and I always found that the colour was kind of poor. If you save frames out of moving footage, they are pretty bad as video frames are "interlaced" -- alternating rows of pixels in each frame, so each image only has about half its pixels -- so again, pretty low quality. However, if you didn't pay much for the DVcam, it works okay and shoot pretty decent footage. Of course, like all digital cameras, it's pretty old technology just 5 or 6 years after it first came on the market. I don't know that you need much software to use one of these cameras. I always used the small card-reader that came with my ZR25 to read the still photo cards and import them into my iMac. The DV footage was easy to import into iMovie. I'm not sure if you need any special software to import the footage into a PC. I wouldn't think so, but I'm not a PC person, so I really don't know. Hope some of that is a help.

---Great pics. I especially like the ones of the dragonflies that showed when I brought this page up. I was hoping you weren't going to use them for bait, they're wonderful creatures to hang around with. Very playful and if you show them a lot of fun, they will go get their friends/family too... lol. ---Anyway. I purchased one and it didn't have the software with it, so I don't know if that's what I am missing and Canon's site says the software is discontinued, so I have searched endlessly and today found your site. ---Is there a way to do it without the MiniDV tape? I am without a MiniDV tape presently because the head is dirty and no one locally carries a head cleaner. I had to order one and it'll take a week to get to me, but I am missing so many pictures right now it's not funny. Especially pics of the Bald Eagle, which as of yesterday, is no longer an endangered species in Alabama. ---I have all the cables and can use my laptop to transfer images, but have no way to capture frames... even with Nero 7 Premium. Do you use an AVI to image convertor or am I just missing the software. ---If I am needing the software, where can I find a copy (ISO would be great) to download so as I can make a disc? ---Thank you, -T.R.E.Jr.
