Transfer Hi-8 tapes (analog&digital) to computer for editing
Discussion
Help. I have a lot of old Hi8 analog tapes and Hi8-Digital tapes created with a Sony Handycam. (home movies). I want to get them into my computer for editing.
The camera has Svideo and RCA outputs. My computer has firewire and USB inputs.
Do I need an analog to digital capture device to do this? Do I need this sort of device for the digital tapes too, since no one seems to make a cable with Svideo on one end and firewire/USB on the other.
If I do buy one of these converters, what would you suggest? Will the quality be ok for home movies? (I want to be able to project the edited video onto a screen).
Thanks for any help.
