it relatively is an particularly tedious potential of importing your camcorder tape into "editable format". I also have a camcorder and that i might nicely be considered as a "sufferer". i will in basic terms watch the tape on my camcorder or television yet no longer on my workstation! I searched for help and the technical guy advised me that i might desire to have a firewire first to connect with my workstation. (pay attention!! a lot of computers dont have firewire port, different than Apple Mac). once you get carry of the firewire, you may desire to have a application. homestead windows movie Maker won't be able to do something because it would not help direct camcorder import. so which you like a application that can do this, i prefer to propose you Apple iMovie (if u have a Mac), or Adobe best professional (it relatively is extra appropriate), there are nonetheless different softwares so which you may bypass seek. The application should not be a issue as you will get carry of the pains from their respective web pages. next, once you get carry of the applying, you may in basic terms import them (regularly takes an particularly loooong time) and keep them (the information regularly are very large, each so often can soak up 40GB in my case). After that, you may edit it in regardless of techniques. some video modifying softwares that i prefer to propose are: Sony Vegas, Ulead Studio and so on. Thats all. It labored for me.

Any electronics store, such as Best Buy/Circuit City, can sell you an external video capture device that will plug into a USB port and then just plug the camcorder's s-video output and audio outputs into the capture device. The device should come with editing software as well. They run about $100

You need a capture card, that's for sure. Look for one that supports S-video in and out. Hi8 is a componant y/c format and you wont get the most out of it if you use the RCA for video. RCA for audio is just fine though.

I would just use a regular RCA jack to a video capture card. hi8 will only give you so much quality anyway plus its probably the easiest method. Maybe the only method. lol
