A friend suggested that I can output HD (Canon XH-A1) directly to my SD (Canon GL2) for an easy HD to SD conversion. I've purchased the appropriate 4-pin to 4-pin cable I set the HD camera to VCR and play the HD tape... the GL2 (also set on VCR) acknowledges the connection " DV IN" ...but no video signal is apparent on the monitor. If anyone has experience in making camera-to-camera copies... please share the steps involved / settings/ etc. Many Thanks Walter
