What's the easiest path to convert analog video video to your computer?

I have an antiquated 8mm camera and want to digitize those old tape.


Answers:    Since the old 8mm (analog) camcorders did not enjoy USB or firewire, and the only audio and video out is by using equal AV cable (or S-video if the camcorder is so equipped + the adio side of the AV cable) you would normally use to connect to a VCR or TV for playback, you entail to get an analog/digital bridge.

If your computer is equipped next to a Firewire (IEEE1394, i.Link) port, using something like the Canopus boxes would be the best channel. http://canopus.com/products/videoconvers...

The camcorder AV cable (or S-video) connects to the A/D bridge; the bridge connects via firewire cable to the firewire port on the computer.

If you don't have firewire ports on your computer, next you have two choices:

You can attain and install an internal card in you PC - if you are OK beside opening the computer and installing a card within an available slot - they are generally call "AV capture cards".

Or, externally...

If your computer is equipped next to a USB port, using something like the Pinnacle Dazzle boxes would work. http://www.pinnaclesys.com/PublicSite/us...

The camcorder AV cable (or S-video) connects to the A/D bridge; the bridge connects via USB cable to the USB port on the computer.

Or... you could contact a local video verbs service (if there is one) and hold them do it for you...
