Can I transfer images from an 8mm camcorder to my PC, and what will I need to do that?

You will need a TV capture card or a Video capture card on your PC and you will need to connect the camera to the PC via a SVHS or Composite video lead (SVHS is better quality).  Then use the program provided with the capture card to either capture images or movies. Good luck.  PS capture cards range from £30-200 but get the best one you can afford and it has to be an analogue one, with SVHS and composite inputs not a digital one with firewire.

yes, if you have real and media right now, press (F3) and go to the drop down menu next to the bottom, and then press ok.  It will convert all your files on your computer to media.

I'm not familiar with your cam but I'll do the best I can here.\n\nIf you have a USB connection you can do it that way.\n\nSome of the newer computers you can take the card out of the cam and put it into a slot in the computer.\n\nSome real nice software to put your movie together would be a big help too.  I use muvee Technologies.\n\nGood luck!!

Purchase a USB Cable.  You can tranfer files that way.

If you have the files then you can go to http://www.videohelp.com/ to find tools youy can use.\n\nIf you don't have the files then you need a computer capable of capturing images or a device that capable of interfacing directly with your computer.

If you dont find programs that save the video from webcam directly into an AVI format, \nYou can find programs on the internet which capture the images from the webcam and save them.\nuse that to save images [lets say 4-5 images per sec] and then use microsoft movie maker to join them as a video.\n\nYour video's would be of bad quality. ;-)

If your computer is fairly new, chances are it came with a built-in firewire port. If not, your likelihood of getting the video onto your PC quickly go down a bit. You can always get a firewire PCI card installed into the machine.  You would also need a firewire cable to go from the camcorder to the PC.\n\nSeeing as how you rented the camcorder, did they possibly give you any software for the PC? If not, then that presents another obstacle to your goal. Office programs will not assist you with getting video to your PC. If you have the software for the camcorder, it should have some type of video editing software with it. If not, and the PC is fairly new, then you might have a freebie program called Windows Movie Maker included with your PC, which should get the basics done for you.

You need a IEEE1394 (Firewire) port on your PC for most digital camcorders.  If your camcorder is Analog, you will need a media converter that takes the analog input and converts it to firewire.

The documentation that came with the camera should tell you if this is possible.  I have a Casio QV-R40 digital camera that I've tried using as a webcam.  It came with a USB cord so I can transfer the pictures and video I record with it (no sound), but I primarily use my SD card anyway.  I've tried looking for software and downloading firmware updates for the camera, but nothing worked.  Webcams are generally inexpensive anyhow.  \nHope you find out.  Good luck.

I will assume your camera uses USB (the large majority does). Decently working USB wasn't really even added until late windoze 98, which was second edition. I would like to make a suggestion before you consider the upgrade or replacement to XP.\n\n Find the manufacturer of the camera and do some searching (Yahoo, Google, MSN, whatever you like best) for the website of the manufacture. Check on the site to see if there is a Windows98 device driver for your model camera. IF there is, you are in luck. Download it and run it on your win98 computer. \n\n If a driver cannot be found, you pretty much don't have any other options. IF your computer has enough memory and a fast enough CPU, you might be able to run XP okay. Really, it is a good idea to upgrade anyway if you can. Other things besides the camera are probably going to cause you grief at some point.\n\n Hope this helps.

You need to get a Video card which accepts AV in, then connect it up to the video out of the Recorder. Then you would be reocring with your PC.\n\nHowever if your video card or PC has AV out, and the recorder has AV in, then you could hook those up instead and record from your PC to the recorder, either way should work, but may involve you adding some hardware.

yes you can...what you need is a video card with "video in" or a tv-capture card.\n\nhere is a site that offers them and tutorials on how to do it\n\nhttp://www.videoguys.com/vidcap.htm

You'll need to refer to your camera's documentation or manual but the easy way is to get a capturing device (such as a dazzle) and some video editing software like Pinnacle for pc or Final Cut Pro for mac.\nYou can probably find out everything you need to know at: www.pinnacle.com
