Rescue my digi8 tapes?
Question: The record function on my digi8 handycam just died. The player side still works ok. Repair is not viable and I want to replace the camera with a minidv tape type. I would like to save some of the material I recorded to digital8 on dvd so I can discard the old camera. I have experimented with capturing material to WMM for editing but find the quality of the edited videos poor when played back on my pc. At full screen it is rubbish. Is there any way to improve this? I captured via USB 2.0, not firewire. My pc spec is not so high Pentium 4 2.4ghz, 768mb RAM, 200 mb avail storage. OS XPHome. Appreciate any advice including suitable literature to read for beginners. Thanks.
Answers: poyu need a editing program or dvd authoring software to eport it as an AVI. Or you could get a minidv camcorder withan AV input and transfer it to miinidv
you might consider a DVD player/recorder that has a DV input. it will work to conveniently backup both your digi8 and miniDV at good quality.
Have you tried capturing and then saving them as .avi? Be aware though that this file format eats up a lot of disk space since it's uncompressed. If it's still rubbish, try using firewire. If that's really not possible, my next suggestion would be to use a stand alone dvd recorder and bypass your computer altogether.
