Can you use a USB VideoAudio CaptureCard Adapter to edit with a hi8 camcorder instead of a capture card?

Question

i dont want to intall a capture card or spend thousands of dollars on a good camcorder so will this work for some of the older camcorders?

Answer 1

the plus side of a capture card, either internal to the computer or external via USB, is it can be used with any source of analog video. The external USB adaptor should work just fine for you.

Answer 2

not thousands, but a few $

but on 2nd thought, why not spend those $ on a new digital vcam (smaller & lighter)  w/c wud then reduce the complexity of converting analog to digital ... how about these:
