How do you put your 8mm tapes on your computer?

I have a video camera that records onto those little 8mm tapes. What chord do I need to put the video on my..?

  • computer? And how long does that process take? I have about 4 hours worth of video that I need to put on my computer. Thanks!!

  • Answer:

    You will need more than just a cord. The most likely output on your camera is a small round socket labelled AV or AV out. You need a cable with a 3-pole jack socket on one end to fit that hole and 3 coloured RCA plugs (red, white and yellow) on the other. These you need to plug into a USB video adapter (I use one made by Pinnacle). Then plug the adapter into a computer on which the adapter software is installed. You might find it best to take the camera to your computer shop and ask for help in finding the bits. Then play the 4 hours of tape, preferably with coffee breaks.

IEEE 1394 cable will provide you with the fastest upload speed. It usually is done at real time speed so four hours of recorded video takes four hours to put onto your computer. Switch to a video camera with a built in HD, transfer rate is way faster.
