Retrieve Movie from a Old [Analog] CamCorder using AV ?

[nithiraj]

Hi, I have a Hitachi Cam Corder which I bought 5 years back. I does'nt have firewire or USB Port. It has only Audio/Video output. How can I connect this to my PC and download and movie so that I can burn it using my DVD writer? Is there any card / software available for this? Thanks in advance.

There's many options, but first is it just one movie? If so take it soewhere to have it done, if it's on hi-8 tape you could just borrow someones digital 8 cam to transfer it.

Buy one if you have a lot, get a new cam with passthrough, record with a DVD recorder.........the possibilitys are endless. Look up the capture cards to the left.

There's quite a few threads in the capture forum with suggestions, It depends on your needs, I use a ADVC 110.
