Seeking for advice converting old V8 tapes

[satimis]

Ideally as have been already said, you need a Hi-8 camcorder or Digital8 with analog playback, it is best if equipped with TBC/DNR and S-Video out, You need a good quality capture device (a.k.a digitizer) not any chinese crap.

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

Please advise how to check TBC/DNR and S-Video out on its manual? Thanks

Regards

Look at the menu screenshots in the manual, It should show TBC ON/OFF, DNR ON/OFF, Some have a full size S-Video socket, later ones use special pigtails out of a 3.5mm jack for composite, Y-C and stereo audio, These can be found in the connection diagram section.

Again, as I said already, You need a different camcorder, Hi8 or Digital8. I'm not aware of video8 camcorder with line TBC and S-Video out.

Hi,

My problem is that most sellers reject "RETURN" term.

Now I found following PAL Sony Camcorder:
Sony PAL CCD-TR820E PAL Hi8 8mm Video8 Camcorder VCR Player Video Transfer

This seller accepts 30days RETURN

Now I attached its manual and the screenshot of TBC (p-35) here

Would this Camcorder be suitable for me?

Please advise before I contact the seller to clarify other details. Thank.

Please advise how to check TBC/DNR and S-Video out on its manual?

How about a simple text search in the manuals for "TBC", "DNR" .... etc. ??

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

I already did. Please see my posting #35, made by searching on the manual. But I couldn't find S-Video

I couldn't find TBC, DNR or S-Video on the manual of my posting #29

Next you will need a decent external "digitizer" for this camera to do the conversion from analog to digital. Something like Hauppauge USB-live2 or I/OData GV-USB2 or equivalent.

This item ? Thanks

Hauppauge 610 USB-Live 2 Analog Video Digitizer and Video Capture Device

The most important thing is to get a good quality Hi8 PAL Camcorder. Otherwise I have no solution.

Yes, for example. But the price seems crazy. Buy from Hauppauge directly.
