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.

The Rode video mic gets good reviews. I've used Rode NT1's for studio recording and those are really, really good mics.

Cant find where i put the manual for it, but looking at the connector its defo not XLR, its like a earphone jack socket, except the outer casing of the connector is threaded.

I think it's the standard 1/8" stereo mini jack. Several good mics (including the Rode) come with that jack standard, and there are adapters to take XLR to 1/8" easily available.

this is the first one I found via Google. Adapter Link
Also check your local electronics store (I don't know if you have Radio Shack in Ireland or not).

Cheers thats looking close to what i require.
My only concern is that on the camcorder the mic jack outer casing is threaded, im now assuming that that one you refer to pushes in and i dont need to be concerned about a threaded fitting.
No Radio Shack over here that I know of

Yes its threaded but doesn't matter, i have the FX1 and it has the same input, don't worry about that. Radio Shack wouldn't carry that by the way, ive actually been looking for something like that. Rode video mics are very nice but very professional and expensive. I would just search Google for "shotgun video mics" and see what you like best. Heres a good looking one, it really just depends on how pro you are trying to be http://cgi.ebay.com/Panasonic-AG-MC100-Microphone-Shotgun-Mic-MC-100-XLR_W0QQitemZ230176829910QQihZ013QQcategoryZ83857QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
