How to get Hi8 video to a computer?

How do I transfer video to a computer from a Hi8 cassette? ?

  • I was wondering how I'd go about transferring my video from a Hi8 cassette to my computer. Is there some kind of device that I could put my tape in and connect it to the computer with something like USB, S-Video, Firewire, RCA, etc? Or maybe I can get a cable and connect from the camera? I have an old Sony Handycam from the early 90's that obviously takes Hi8 cassettes. I'm interested in the first choice more though, is that possible?

  • Answer:

    Hi8 is analogue tech. You'll need a converter for your computer. the converter connects to the computer via firewire and to the camera via analogue output. You can get cheap one like DAZZLE or get a good one from Canopus... Once you have purchased a solution, you can do what you like with your footage.
