MINIDV AND 8mm?How can they both played on vcr without their cameracordrs?

Question

I have a minidv cameracorder and my sister has 8mm. My mom hasnt got any cameracorder. If we both send her our cameracorder tapes how can she watch them. Is it possible that she can watch them on her vcr through any kind of adaptor?

Answer 1

The most common media playback device w/c I guess ur mom has is a DVD player connected to a TV set, so that you & ur sister wud have to burn ur video on a DVD.

To do that, u wud need capture /import ur video thru a pc video capture or editing software, probably enhance thru effects, transitions, titles, background music & finally burn the movie.

Ur miniDV vcam is digital and is pretty much easier to capture/import to a pc, however, ur sister's vcam outputs  analog video w/c has to be converted to a digital first to be accepted by a pc. For analog devices:

ur miniDV vcam must be iLink / FIREWIRE400**-connected to pc to upload video thru video capture or video editing* software while vcam is ON PLAYBACK.  Note: DV or Firewire port of vcam is 4pin. Before cable purchase** (Vcam/4pin=>firewireCABLE=>PC (4/ 6pin?), check pc for DV or firewire port, whether 4 or 6 pin. If none, install firewire card: pci for pc or pcmcia for laptop.
