The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

SDHC cards for camcorders tend to need to be of a relatively high speed compared to what's acceptable in a still camera.
You'll have to look in your manual for the minimum speed required by your camera, it may be a Class 4 card, it may be Class 6.
Personally, I use 16 gig Class 6 SDHC cards in my camcorder.
A Class 2 card is guaranteed to be too slow for a modern day camcorder. (class 2 tops out at 16Mbit/s - most camcorders that record AVCHD will record 17-24 mbits/s) Class 4 is 32mbit/s, class 6 is 48mbit/s, class 10 is 80mbit/s.
