Hi, I have an old sharp viewcam, (approx 7 yrs) and want to know the easiest way to put my media onto my pc. The tapes i have are NOT the hi8 type but just the 8. Thanks. Dan
Don't know exactly what type of tape you have but I assume it is analog. There are basically three ways to capture analog tape: 1. Connect the output of your camcorder to a video-in if your PC has one. 2. Buy an analog capcture device (you can buy them in the form of esparate boxes taht you connect using USB or as a PCI card that you install on your PC) 3. Use an analog-to-digital pass through using a digital camcorder. Check this: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/basics/transfer.php under "Analog video capture"
