MicroMV is a new videotape format by Sony. The cassette is physically smaller than a Digital8 or DV cassette. In fact, MicroMV is the smallest videotape format.
The MicroMV format does not use the DV format; instead, it uses MPEG compression, like that used for Video CDs (VCDs) and DVDs. This means that footage recorded on MicroMV format cannot be edited with most computer DV editing software, such as Apple iMovie. For this reason, MicroMV camcorders do not have FireWire ports. Rather, they have USB 2.0 ports, and Sony supplies its own video editing software (for Microsoft Windows only).
It is unknown as yet whether MicroMV will be a successful format. Currently, Sony is the only electronics manufacturer to sell MicroMV cameras. Digital8 and MiniDV are more popular as consumer formats.
