from 8mm camera to DVD

[slave1]

Hi all ,

What i actually need is a step by step general guidelines for going from a 8mm tape to a dvd. Which software to use and so on . I guess it should be a 3 step process: Capture, convert and burn.


All i need is the name of the softwares that can do these steps. I will do the rest.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

I have a Sony digital-8 and use a Panasonic E-30. works great, no software needed!

I have a DVD-R/DVD-RAM burnner and a new today (179 at officemax) A05/105 DVD-RW. I have used just to make a copy of a DVD. So far so good. I also have a terapin VCD recorder. Having made VCDs both with software and direct with a stand alone recorder, I went for a DVD recorder. I do NOT regret going the DVD recorder route for making original DVDs.

Quick, simple and great results. I record my source a DVD, VHS tape, 8mm tape or digital-8 tape source using a VCD or DVD recorder then use the burnners to make copies.

8mm video - analog or does the camera have a firewire port?

A lengthy discussion on matters including this here...

Particularly Reilly's comments of Dec 05, seems to answer your question.

I've been referring to this post to undertake similar conversions.

It's a tough read, but you should find some good bits to help you out.

Thanks JD,

Now i didn't quite get your message , do you need to do any capture first or does the software automatically convert the data and burn it to DVD?

I will need the software route because this whole thing is not for me .

All i have to work with is the camera ,my computer and pretty soon a dvd burner.

Thanks
