What would I need to transfer my 8mm tapes to DVD?

I uploaded mine to my computer then from there I burned to a dvd disc. Verified they were on the dvd and discarded the 8mm tapes. Its been awhile since I now have a different camera.

Only if you want to play them on anything but the camera itself....but you can change tapes on that anytime. I pesonally prefer to transfer important videos to DVD. There are DVD recorders, especially good ones from Magnavox, that you can simply plug in video and audio inputs to very easily make great DVDs. I have literally scores of such discs for both my business and family videos.

First I would need to know what kind of Camera you have, But with most camera'a you would have to transfer your footage from your camera to your PC and use a program that allows you to burn it to a DVD.

I had some VHS tapes made from old super 8 movies. I copied one of the VHS tapes to a DVD with no trouble.

It does not support 8mm tapes of any kind -- these kind of tapes can't be played in a regular VCR (no adapter could ever make that happen based on all I've read). This adapter is for VHS-C tapes only!I don't know of any kind of VCR that can play these -- I'm under the impression that they can only be played through the video camera, but I'm no expert on 8mm tapes.

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.

I purchased a device from Roxio to copy VHS tapes to my laptop and then to burn them onto a DVD, it's a connector and some software. It's pretty seamless, you can copy the tape directly to a DVD or copy it to your computer and then burn the disc. If you have an s-video connector that would be the best way to do it as the Roxio device supports it. I didn't have one but an ordinary cable works fine.

Hi,Great question. You may want to take a look at the Wiki How article and discussion on this:http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Cassette-Tape-to-Computer

The best way to transfere your videos from camera to DVDs is to connect the A/V cable from camera to DVD recorder , then play video on camera and press record on your DVD recorder .

You would need something to actually play the tapes. This just converts incoming A/V to digital.

it is possible: final cut, select in the menu "log and transfer", select the tracks you want to import. the camera needs to be charging in the power cord. or remove the flash drive and connect in a usb connector and log and transfer again. after editing, compress the movie in the compressor and burn in the dvd pro. use their templates. there are tutorials everywhere.

You would be better off getting a device specifically for this purpose, or you can send your tapes to a service that will convert them for you.All the big chains have devices to convert VHS to digital for anywhere from $30 to $100 ..

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.

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.

I've been using it with both Hi8 and 8mm to transfer my oldies to DVD, and it works fine for both.

You will connect the RCA plugs or S Video to your source (VCR), the USB will connect to the CPU. I bought this a couple years ago to transfer my VCR tapes. it worked great. I then edited them with a editing program, then burned them to DVD. After a couple practice runs, you will get the adjustment down. Then start the process of recording and walk away, or watch your recording if you are not going to copy the entire tape. Good luck, it is pretty simple to use.

Maggie, the adapter can only be used for vhs-c tapes not for 8mm cassettes, hope this helps, Sock
