Debut Video Capture Software (free) is supposed to help with the conversion according to another comment posted on this product. Let me know cause I need to do the same

The converter doesn't know what is generating the in feed. As long as you have the small jacks...normal red yellow white..just like going to TV...it will work. The program is loaded on your computer....this is where the menu pops up. From the converter you plug into the computer USB..... Nothing to it...... You can see the playback on your computer before you start recording....once you start recording just let it run until it is finished.... then you can burn as many discs as you want or just burn one. By the way....my grandchildren know 100 times more about a computer than I do....if I can do it you can do it.

I had a similar situation. All I had was a 8mm film ( no camera, no projector), when I saw this so called "system" for sale here, I decided to purchase it. But when I got the package, the "system" looked like a Mirror! So, to transfer your film to DVD you'll need a camera and projector separately. It does not come with this system. I wish it was described better here, what exactly your buying. I had to return this system, because I could not use it to transfer 8mm. As I told, it looked just like a mirror . So keep looking for smth else or go to CVS where they can transfer your tapes on DVD. I had a similar situation.

I think it can be done. Haven't done it myself, however. If you call Canon help, they walk you through any problem. If you don't have a contact number for them, let me know - I'll hunt it out for you.

I wish I could help you there, I don't do much video recording on my camera. I've never tried to use any programs for video. But usually canon has a software that comes with the camera on the disk that allows for video and picture conversions.

Yes it should work. At this point in time finding the "CLD" still available was a blessing. It seems that the 8MM format is going the way of VHS. Using the CLD saved my camcorder.

So t17, do you have any advice about how to reasonably & inexpensively get digital videos made on a Flip onto DVD's? LUV LUV LUV the convenience of the Flip, but I was suprised that I can't just burn my videos to a DVD. Called Ritz Camera (at Flip's suggestion since they are 'authorized to create DVD's from the Flip'), and was shocked that I would need to give them the Flip for 10 days plus $29 for the first DVD and $15 for each subsequent copy. Yikes!! So to give my family (some of whom are elderly and don't have web access) 7 DVD copies of the cool little 18 minute movie I edited together from our July 4th party, I would have to spend $120! There's got to be a better way. Any suggestions?

I looked at the camera menu, and it appears it is capable of shooting NTSC (US) and PAL (Canada & Europe) video. I've never tried video, so I have no idea about the results. The instructions I got were not in English, so I downloaded and printed my manual, since I haven't 'Video'd' I have no clue how to set it up. If my memory serves me, the lenses are the the same as the older Canon EOS digitals, and even earlier Canon 35mm film cameras. The lenses we have for 'my' camera are from our first Canon 35mm film camera, and work as good as they did with it. We have 3 lenses, one is for wide angle scenes, one for 'mid range' pix and the third is relatively long lens that we use for 'almost telephoto' pictures. That's the draw-backs, for differences in distance, the lens must be changed for detail. One of my friends had an adapter for the his telescope eye-piece that would adapt the camera to his 1500 mm telescope tube. Now that was a telephoto lens. Do what you will, I like my 20D just fine. It has a masculine feel to it, it fits well in work worn hands. The function buttons must be touched on purpose to change the function of what you want to do. I bought a new Canon for my wife. It was what she wanted, and in her internet research, it was what she wanted. It is all, and more than she wanted. I love the way the camera takes pictures, but the function buttons are so sensitive that I find I change functions when that isn't my intention. However it takes AWESOME Pictures. The 20D is an amazing camera, and cost about a sixth of the price. Buy the lens if you will, shoot your videos, but remember, let me know how they turn out.

I am trying to burn HD video to a dvd. Can anyone tell me what DVD's to use and how to burn the video in HD? I recorded the material in HD...

I have a Canon HF 200, and have been trying to find some way to play my HD files on the BD-60. So far, no luck. I've emailed and called customer service to ask what formats are supported - waste of time.The customer rep said this was only available on the BD-80 (despite what the manual states)Good luck.

You would have to contact Canon and ask them. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I would like to know that also. I need one for 8mm casettes. If this does it then I will purchase it.

Will it work for medium format film? 6x4.5? I mean - can I replace Canon film tray with homemade one for medium format film?

I really have no answer. The only thing I can suggest is that perhaps you punched out the tab so that the tape could not be overwritten by accident. Would it be possible that the program could read this as a copyrightprotection, so it would not process it? In case that is the problem, just put some tape over the "hole" and see if that works. Have you sent a question to the EZ folks? I found them to be helpful, but I was still not able to transfer my 8mm tapes to DVDs.

I don't know if you'll ever see this reply but it's worth getting the word out anyway. I recently purchased the new Small Wonder combo kit from TigerDirect.com. RCA has put out this DVD burner/Small Wonder camera combo package that is PERFECT for what you are asking about. The camera docks right onto the DVD burner, which connects to a t.v., and the videos will transfer directly into the DVD burner! It's so cool and easy. Plus, the DVD burner acts a stand-alone DVD player AND it will take inputs from other transmission sources (video camera, t.v. tuner, etc). This is a great product and a great value!Thrilled Small Wonder User I don't know if you'll ever see this reply but it's worth getting the word out anyway.

Moreofless,do you have a link to the Verbatim-branded spindle of 100 DVDs that is cheaper by $10? I'd love to see that.

I believe so - I was converting VHS "C" format & 8MM. Very cumbersome process and I had to find a player that played those devices. Somebody has to come our with a better system. But after ,many hours (dyas) I did get 2-3 movies to come out fairly clean and audible.

To the best that I know, the camera. I havent tried the dvd option. You can call crimestoppers and ask. They are very supportive.
