How much sound quality is lost with camcorder formats that result in greater compression?

best camcorder to record music videos image

yet-knish!

I want to buy a camcorder to record myself playing music and am deciding on format. I understand that videos made with HDD and flash memory camcorders will have greater compression--how much will this affect the sound?

Answer
the audio on miniDV is uncompressed 48k, 16 bit sampled digital sound. If you get a camcorder that allows exernal mics you can achieve truly professional results. Typical DVD audio compression is 7:1 MPEG3 which is reasonably good. I believe HDD and flash is higher compression, but i don't have a number for you.

Okay, Im pretty happy first of all because...MEGAN AND LIZ!

Now onto the question. For the sound quality of this video, it was pre recorded so you probably wouldn't be able to get that from a camcorder. Second of all, they do edit their videos. And third or all, Im not sure (though I assume) that they already work in studios, so their equipment probably (key word, probably) costs more than 1 grand. :) Hope i helped.
