HELP! Convert 8mm to digital
by Dan Edwardson on Nov 2, 2009 at 11:45:02 pm

Hi Guys!
I have just come back from a trip from India,
However i could only source a very old samsung camera to film with, the cameras output is Phono Video and Mono Audio (Yellow and white)

I need a cheap and easy system to convert it on to my pc for editing

Any Ideas???

Did you mean component video out?

You need a DV converter to convert analogue to digital or a dedicated video capture card.

Best way is find a Digital8 camcorder, these play old Video 8 out by DV Firewire very nicely.

OK, this is not an endorsement of this company or this product, but since the hardware does come with Adobe software, you're probably going to be able to do captures with this:

Your "yellow" cable is a coax video cable terminating in an RCA plug. Your "White" cable is a mono audio twisted pair cable (though it can be coax).

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

We have done about 25 8mm films (no Sound). Don't make it complicated. Project against a white wall at about 10" x 8" size image and just copy off the wall or screen using your digital camcorder, the quality will not be great anyhow but, it is ok for U -Yube
