cd is too limited for video, you need to make a DVD. Type in "freewheeling franklin" in the search for questions box at top. I've made some general instructions for this

Is there a Digital8 camcorder that plays analog 8mm and hi8 tapes, and is compatible with Mac OS X?

I want to edit my old analog tapes on my mac, and record new ones at digital quality. Surely there is a camcorder out there to suit my needs...?


A: You'd have to be careful when choosing a Digital-8 camcorder because they are not all backward compatible with 8mm & Hi8 video tapes.

Alternatively, you can use an analog/firewire converter device:

that is if you still have the analog 8mm and Hi8 camcorders to playback the video tapes.

How do i upload film from Sony Digital8 Camcorder onto iMovie?

Written by EmotionallyWritten | Friday, December 28, 2007

Without a Memory Stick.
with the USB cord.

help?


A: You need a firewire cable that connects from your camcorder to your mac. Make sure your camcorder has the tape in it, is turned on, and is set to "Playback" mode (not "Camera" mode). Then start up iMovie. There should be no problem after that.

You can't use the usb to connect to playback video. Only a firewire cable.

I have a digital8 based camcorder. I do not transfer file from this tape to computer hard disk. I connect the camcorder with USB cable. But no signal is detected by my PC. My friend told me that I have to a capture card to transfer the data from this tape to my PC. I have no video capture card. So should I buy a video capture card? will this card solve my problem. Please help?


A: You are asking for help but not disclosing your camera model ?

modify your question giving details if you seek a correct answer or go ahead and buy an expensive video capture card.

alternatively you can walk into any photo studio and ask them for conversion. They would take your tape and burn the data to videoCD professionally.

They would have some vendor having expensive hardware mpeg conversion do your VideoCD is of better quality then doing it...
