Q: QuestionIf this camera does not support livestream, then which one will? Something with like this that I can mount on a tri-pod, and connect to laptop also. Any thing but a webcam!

Asked 7 years ago by Apollo.

• A:Answer This and most all camcorders now have HDMI output. It is up to your computer more than the camera. You will have to have a capture card or usb device for your laptop. The one nice thing about this camera is that it has a microphone input which most do not. For live streaming that's good feature.

Q: QuestionDoes this camera need a computer to download the videos in order to burn DVDs? In order to burn DVDs DO NEED a WINDOWS PC OR A CHROME PC OR EITHER ONE?

Asked 7 years ago by Arthur.

• A:Answer The camera records to an SD card. You will need equipment that can read that card or except the HDMI output on the camera. A computer is the simplest item although I know there are pieces of equipment out there that can record to DVD directly. If you do not have a DVD burner then a computer would be the cheapest and simple solution.
