Will the digital video recorded on my Handycam camcorder eventually degrade?
No. Digital camcorders have become the standard in recording technology, allowing for multiple video copies to be dubbed without losing any elements of the recorded picture. Analog information, on the other hand, loses picture or “fades” with each copy. Since the copying process does not reproduce an exact signal, analog recordings can degrade over time and as multiple copies. Video information may be uploaded onto your PC or notebook to edit, copy, email or manipulate your movies.
