Copper has never been an "ingredient" in a magnetic tape formulation.

You must have been thinking of something else, probably Chrome.

If one of the VCR controls of your camcorder, (i.e. a button right

next to PLAY, PAUSE etc.) says "REC" on it then your camcorder has

video inputs. If it has only one set of jacks for video and audio,

use THAT for input but remember, it is INPUT ONLY while you are

recording. This is the way most of the Sonys and Canons work. 

 

Finally, if your camcorder has the audio/video inputs but you cannot

record OR you can record but the picture rolls or is otherwise

unstable, it is most likely due an incorrect modification on your PXL. 

(Refer to the message I posted here 3 weeks ago for the details).
