I bought a nice 8mm (Hi8) camcorder a few years ago, and I would like to convert my movies to my hard drive, and then burn them onto a DVD. Any suggestions as to how I could do this? Im running Xp SP2, My graphics card is 512mb so it can handle anything. Soundblaster audio card. My CPU could handle pretty much anything, Got a brand new DVD burner from Santa Claus…all I need now is some suggestions on what I would need to capture the audio and video from the camcorder. THanks.
I have a TDK 8mm MP Premium camcorder tape. Unfortunately, I dont have the camcorder anymore. Is there a method/machine to easily transfer it onto the computer/VHS/dvd? I don’t want to spend lots of money just to be able to see this tape again.

I’ve done a little searching and so far I don’t think there is a “hack” on YouTube or Google that even comes close to it. Most of my searches come up with converting the tape.
I think that my general plan would be to take out the analog recording components and replace them with digital ones. I want to record on using a flash format.
I have an old Sony Vision Hi8 DCR-TRV58 NTSC model camcorder. I know it’s old, from 2002 I think. I would like to transfer video I have on the camcorder cassets onto my computer to edit.
I understand I have to digitalize the video first since it is analog. Can someone give me instructions on how to do it and which cables I need?
I have the s-video cable for right now, but I guess I might need more than that…
I have a friend who passed away and we have a bunch of stupid videos from when we were kids, her sister ask me if I could copy them for her, so that she could have them too. I really would like to do this for her, but how do I go about converting cassette to DVD? Is there anywhere I can pay to have it done? Thanks!
I downloaded dvd shrink and nero. neither can read or open the file; the dvd was finished on the camcorder. this hitachi model does not have a av hookup to the pc either. (#@$%)
I do not have dvd reader. excuse my ignorance. I tried quicktime & windows media…they cannot see the disc in the drive either. It will work fine on a dvd player. I guess I look for a freeware dvd reader…
ok
i’ve downloaded a dvd reader; it can’t read the dvd-r disc. i’ve also installed ulead video studio 7 which came with some purchase awhile ago. no go here too.
more info:
it is a dvd-r disc.
after much research, I think I need to purchase an adapter with the red, yellow, and white plugins for the pc. the pc will not read the dvd-r. I tried various software packages to rip it. none worked. I think once i get this pc card, i can use visual studio to convert it and then burn it and upload it on the net.
Right now when I try and play/upload a video that I’ve downloaded from my camcorder, the sound plays but not the picture. So uploading to Youtube would be useless. Is there an easy program that I can use to convert the file into something usable?

I have a Hi8 tape for my camcorder and I taped my newborn’s birth with it. The camera isn’t a digital camcorder, but I know that you can take it somewhere to transfer it to a computer. Analog format to digital format. I can’t buy anything because I don’t have any money to buy it lol. Can I take it to a photographer? Where do I take it to do this?

I own a JVC Everio. I am happy with its quality and functions. Part of the reason I invested in it was to upload videos to Google Video, YouTube, Yahoo videos, Metacafe, etc. However I learned that the video produced is not uploadable and have yet to find a way to convert to mpeg or other uploadable formats. Can anybody help me?
