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.

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
