Copy Mini-DV tape to DVD without camera

[LabLover1]

My JVC Mini-DV camera no longer works, and I now have an Everio Hard Drive camera. Is there a device that will copy my Mini-DV tapes to a digital video recorder, without having to use the camera for playback? My alternative would be to buy an inexpensive Mini-DV camera to just use for playback, but that doesn't sound logical. If I have to go that route, I would need one that has a firewire connection. What is the best solution for me to be able to save the movies that I have recorded to Mini-DV tapes?

Believe it or not, most playable Mini-DV players are much more expensive than your JVC Mini-DV camcorder. Just take a look at the site below:
