How do you mean 'enabled' Mike?

I've got the NV DS60B if that's any help?

If a camcorder can only tape from the lens, not from a wired source then it is not classified as a VCR and no tax/royalty has to be paid as a recorder. To keep the price of cheaper camcorders down, disabling the DVin (record from firewire) means that this tax is avoided.

Just like DVD players region protectoin it is a firmware / software hack to enable it. Wigits used to be sold to do this until an EU crackdown on such devices occurred. DIY options (like the one above) can do the trick now days.

As such a tax does not exist in Japan or North America all camcorders from there are DVin/out. Pity they are NTSC though.

Someone suggested it was the same as they NV DS15 but I can not find any reference to that anywhere.

Re: Enabling DV in..Panasonic NV DS 150
It's kinda a risky process Mike, in that you can possibly damage your camcorder and invalidate your gurantee. It is also worrying that your cam model is not listed explictily.

I should also mention that I suggested in the other thread that iunlocking the 'in' function of the camera may be a solution for you re getting VHS tapes into your PC (via the DV camcorder) - however it would seem that such unlocking only works on the digital / firewire in (and NOT the analogue in) and as such will still not allow you to record from VHS to the camcorder, if that was why you were looking at this.

Basically what it would allow is transfer of video from the PC back to DV tape.

Yes it can be done and regardless of whether it goes wrong or not it does invalidate your warranty

np - my fault really - I was the one that (incorrectly) suggested 'unlocking' the camcorder might solve your prob, in the first place

Well I have now borrowed a camera which has Av in........however I have just found loads of tapes I would like to convert so it will take me weeks I will let you know how it goes.

I need something but can not decide between the dazzle 150 and 9800 SE. Maybe I should just have a few beers and go for it !!! and see what I have done me the morning.

Regards as always.

Mike
