I have a bunch of old video I recorded on my Hi8 camcorder. I’m switching over to digital and don’t want to loose my old video. Is there an expansion card with software I can find that does it?
Any recommendations for converting Hi8 videos to digital video I can watch on my PC?

I bought a device from circuit city for about $70, made by pinnacle. They are pretty well-known for these kinds of products and so far it has worked really well. I converted over a lot of hi8 stuff and was very pleased. If you do it in mpeg2 it doesn’t even take up that much space. I’d probably stick with pinnacle, but shop around and find one that fits your specific needs. Here’s a cheap one I found:
