Vhs C Cartridge Still A Good, Useful Book. Does Anyone Know An Inexpensive Way To Transfer 8mm Audio/video To DVD?

Does anyone know an inexpensive way to transfer 8mm audio/video to DVD? - vhs c cartridge still a good, useful book.

I have a lot of 8mm tapes that I want to transfer to DVD, but no camera or reader. VHS-C has to play a cartridge in a regular VHS deck. Is there a similar solution for the transfer of 8mm? I have a VHS-DVD on the deck.

The purchase of a digital video camera Sony 8 off eBay! It is the backwards compatibility and can be connected to the computer with a FireWire cable, so your analog and digital will not be recognized by the computer. Or you can connect with analog cables (Camera>> Video>> DVD). You need an 8mm camera, there is no 8mm / VHS-Adapter! Good luck!

One could consider the plunge and buy a capture card. The Matrox RT2500 could cost around $ 250.00 and comes with Adobe Premiere 6.0 (see http://123dv.com/catalog/matrox_rt2500_w ...

When you go through the difficulties of transferring to a DVD, you can also learn, change and more fun. You can see my YouTube account to get an idea of what will be a moderate investment of effort possible to get.

Johnny is right to borrow an 8mm camera from a friend or maybe a rent to. To use the camera cable to connect video capture card.

If this sounds like too much work, could very well your tapes, a professional company. Here are some links: http://www.customvideo.tv/ http://www.videoconversionexperts.com/Fi ...
