Question

I have an old super 8mm camcorder. How do I convert the videos to digital?

Answer 1

super 8 mm is motion picture film. you will need a projector and a modern video camera to either record on videotape, or better, run the AV cord to a DVD recorder.

video8 is videotape, which works in a camcorder. first generation video8 camcorders did not playback, but if you have a more recent model, then use the AV cord to the DVD recorder.

in either case the audio will be mono. normally pugging into just the LEFT input will cause the DVD to record mono.

Answer 2

You need the cable that came with your camera with the 3 RCA plugs (yellow, white, and red), and you need someting like the EasyCap USB 2.0 Video Capture Adapter with Video Editor Software http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010X2...
