No. It will save 6-7 seconds of each still to tape, or in
stop-motion mode (hard on mechanism), if it has it,
it will save to 6-7 frames... Best: connect by FireWire to
computer, use a program capable of saving frames with
a click of the mouse (remove the tape from the camera
to keep it from shutting off in record mode...). Assemble
the frames in a video editor, and make an AVI file...
