need something to play back 8mm, digital8 and hi8

[koocha]

Hey

I'm looking fro something to play back digital8, hi8 and 8mm tapes. I'm not too bothered about recording on these, and there's some cheap hi8 camcorders on ebay.

I want to capture the image on my PC.

What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks

Tim

Digital8 camera, with DV out, like Sony TRV828. Will go straight to FireWire. If you get a cheap hi8 camcorder, you will still need to do an A to D conversion somewhere (and it won't playback Digital8, obviously). Ask Chirpy if he will sell.

Digital8 camcorder eh? I'll have a look see on ebay. Do I need DV Out? I've got a vid capture card.

How does it work anyway? Does it pop up in the applicationn as another vid capture device?
