Re: [videoblogging] Old Hi-8 analog to digital conversion?

[Michael Verdi]

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.).

camcorder and onto the pc via firewire.  I am curious to see if thisgets rid of the sync issues.>>  --Stephanie>>>  On 4/7/06, Digital <
