my dad got a old sony camcorder and i want to get the videos from there to my pc. it recordes on HI8 tapes. the camcorder has no usb and no firewire cables/ sockets.
Does the Dazzle Hardware have an s-video in available because this could achieve better quality than the A/V cables. and how does the hi8 camera quality compare with digital camera quality from the same specs?
The Dazzle does have s-video available but many Hi8 cams do not. Hi8 will generally look worse than many digital options, especially after it's transferred over composite.
no your wrong mine is "HI8 Sony NightShot handycam" and it doese have "S-Video" and i hear it has X-Ray vision, but i never tryed to see if it does because i barly found out lastnight : )
Jake my Hi8 does have a s-video port. How much better is the video quality? Is there a big difference?

it only has a lead which you connect to the tv.
would this " Dazzle USB " work on mine?
thanks

No, all Hi8 cameras do not have S-video. The camera used in the demo is the newest model available from Sony.

various Hi8 camcorder models have different specs. Some do have S-video, but many don't. If yours has S-video, use it.

I'm slow in responding to this - the cables should come with the camcorder.
