Additional Description

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

MiniDV is a digital video tape format which was a popular format for home video cameras in the early 2000s. They are called “mini” because they are smaller than standard DV format tapes (size=66mm by 48mm by 12.2mm). Mini DVs can also be used to store other forms of data (up to 13GB) with the help of appropriate software.
