Re: [videoblogging] Old Hi-8 analog to digital conversion?
Devlon uses a tv tuner card in his computer (less than $100) to digitize the content. You need an RCA cord to plug into the cam and computer.One thing we've had terrible trouble with, though, is the sound going out of sync. It seems to capture audio at a slightly different rate than video. The only way we've been able to deal with it is to chop up the audio and resync it in segments as it goes out. Very time consuming and the reason we haven't been making video. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, I'd be very interested to find out!anneOn 4/7/06, Digital [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:We were watching old home videos of the kids when they were just babies tonight because the youngest one turns 9 tomorrow.

Re: [videoblogging] Old Hi-8 analog to digital conversion?
My Sony Handicam takes Hi8 and Digital8. To get the Hi-8 tapes onto the hard drive, I put them in the Handicam and import in iMovie like normal, via firewire. The main difference from my standpoint is that you have to manually press play on the camcorder: iMovie can't send the play command for you. I haven't noticed the same synching problem that Anne reports, though I don't have a lot of movies in Hi-8. --Stephanie On 4/7/06, Digital [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We were watching old home videos of the kids when they were just babies tonight because the youngest one turns 9 tomorrow.

It's cheap and free and I may even have it misconfigured, but I've messed with it plenty. We now may have the means to pipe the anolog through a dv camcorder and onto the pc via firewire. I am curious to see if this gets rid of the sync issues. --Stephanie On 4/7/06, Digital [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We were watching old home videos of the kids when they were just babies tonight because the youngest one turns 9 tomorrow.

Re: [videoblogging] Old Hi-8 analog to digital conversion?
I have the same setup as Stephanie though I've also used it often for converting VHS also. I'll run a VCR into the analog imputs of the camera and record the video to DV (some cameras don't make you do this - they just pass the video on through to firewire). Then play back the DV and capture with FCP (or iMovie, etc.). -VerdiOn 4/8/06, Devlon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 4/7/06, Stephanie Bryant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:My Sony Handicam takes Hi8 and Digital8.
