8mm to DVD or CD?

mutley74

Just bought a 8mm Digi camcorder (thanks to argos thread). Is there any way one can convert the tape recording to burn to a DVD or CD?

PC Advisor has a couple of dvd/video packages on the coverdisk this week - and a few articles on the subject.

Thinking of getting it myself if I get round to it

The real issue is transferring it from the camcorder to the PC.

options

i) Firewire (if camcorder has firewire) - Firewire PC cards are quite cheap now.

ii) TV capture card - I reckon around £30-40

iii) USB capture device - downside = USB 1.1 cannot cope with the speed for decent capture. Only USB 2.0 are worthwhile and your computer needs USB 2.0 ports.

Transferring video to HD takes a lot of HD space.
