How to transfer old video tapes on to DVD's?

How do I transfer analog video to digital?

  • I have an older video camera (Canon es1000) that recorded in analog on hi-8 tapes. I probably have close to 100 tapes and would like to store their contents on DVDs, in the hope of someday editing them. What's the best way to transfer the analog onto DVD? (I have a good computer and a DVD burner.) Thank you.

  • Answer:

    Get a capture device such as those made by Pinnacle and Dazzle. You can get a pretty good one for under $50. Plug it into your computer using a USB or firewire cable, and plug your camera into the device using the yellow, white, and red composite cables. Using the software that comes with the device, or other editing software if you have it, you can capture the tapes. Most of the software has some sort of easy function to burn to a DVD. Some will even burn as you capture.
