How do I transfer hi8 tapes from a DCRTRV140 camcorder?

There's a number of ways, but all of them require additional tools. You would either need a conversion kit for the hi8 tapes or you can use the composite (red, white, and yellow jacks) cable for the camcorder and a VCR, DVD recorder, or PC with the proper adapter to convert to another media.

The best way is using a firewire cable. Is quiker to transfer with the best video quality.

You can either connect the camcorder to a computer using IEEE wire, I think they used to call it fire wire, and is the wire with a smaller connection than USB. Or you can use the other cables with the red, white and yellow ends and connect to a dvd or vhs recorder. All the wires come with the camcorder. The same wires you would use to connect to a tv to watch your tapes on the tv. You can access the owners manual for instruction at I think the Sony Support web site.

Yes you can use the VRD VC20 to copy the video you have on your camera. You need a cable to plug in the camcorder and on the other end it has three cables a red white and yellow. The three cables go into the VRD VC20. You can go toSony support and get the opperation book download on the VRD VC20 and it will tell you how.

YES!! I've done it with my Hi-8 video tapes. It was very simple, attaching the output from the video camera to the input on the DVD recorder. First time I tried, I forgot to select the setting for the source, and ended up with a little TV recording, but once I corrected my problem, it went very smoothly.

As long as the camcorder is a Hi8 video camcorder, these tapes( 8 mm High Quality=Hi8) should and will work.

Never tried to do that. Bought it to transfer video from an older camcorder to computer. It did work for that.

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

HDRCX150 does not have a mic input. Therefore, this kit will not work with that camcorder.

Mine works. Kind of fragile. For the price it is ok. Less expensive than sending tapes out to convert.

I've not had experience with 8mm videotape so I can't comment on them, however, my understanding of this stabilizer is that it will allow copying when macrovision is present on the source tape. I assume you are wishing to copy tapes that are not copy protected. If so, I would be skeptical that this device would help. Good luck with your transfer. Ficus

BF, This is a great question, because the tapes look similar and it can get very confusing. So I'll make it really simple: If you have 8mm tapes, you'd be able to play them on your Hi8 or Digital8 camera, including this Hi-8 model. However, if you had a plain old 8mm camcorder, you wouldn't be able to play your Hi8 or Digital8 tapes - just 8mm tapes. --Mr.S

I have a JVC Everio HDD camcorder and want to know if an 8GB micro sdhc card is compatible?

You'll need a camera that can play / record from / to miniDV tapes. Then you just have to interface that camera from its cable source (usb or firewire) to the computers input; with some sort of capture software. It isn't so easy as newer cameras that have hdd / flash drives, since the tapes don't store 'files' so to speak. Sorry you lost the camera.

This camera makes mp4 videos. A format that will cause you no problems with any system. The files are on the SD card in the DCIM folder under 100Media. And you just drag them to your desired folder on your computer. Super simple. Newer camcorders record in "avchd", which is fine if you run windows, but Macs still make you jump through hoops in order to import the footage. The Files are in the Folder Private. Then the Folder AVCHD. Then the folder BDMV. The the folder Stream. If you are running windows you can just drag the footage from the Stream folder to your desired folder. But if you are using a MAC you need to drag the entire BDMV folder over. But the Toshiba Camileo X200 records mp4's. This camera makes mp4 videos.

I have a HF100 and a new iMac and they work together like magic. iMovie08 prompts you to download clips as soon as the SDHC card is put in the reader. Final Cut Express is not quite so eager transfer is easily started with a simple command.Make sure you have an Intel mac, and I am supposing Imovie08.

Yes, you can use a VCR or ho8 cam plugged into the tv using ac connection or you can use a software program to convert those hi8 analog tapes to digital. Either way works well.

the camera has a firewire port (mini), standard for transferring/capturing HDV video. you could also use a signnal based capture device (component video) to capture the HD output.
