How do I load my 8mm tapes directly to my hard drive?

You have to connect the camcorder with the Avermedia adapter to your computer, and if you dont have camcorder, then you will need a 8mm tape VHS adapter and connect VCR to computer.

You must have a Player that will play the video if you have the video camera that made the video you play back DVD EZmaker.You must be sure of the Video camera used to make sure if you buy a player it will play the video. Good Luck

If you are asking about VHS transferred to PC and then make a DVD I have had no luck with the programs they advertise to transfer to the PC. I have a Panasonic VHS copier to DVD which is what is left on the market I used to use Go-Video which was a great machine but they are gone. Then to make DVDs I use AVS programs to convert Blessings, Rita

Yes very easily. Open the hard drive file letter your hard drive is connected to example computer/a then drag that file to this letter. Etc Etc

The quickest way to transfer files would be through a USB memory stick - or USB hard drive

According to product instruction: "It is possible to expand the available storage using an external hard drive. The hard disk must either be formatted with NTFS or FAT 16/32. Connect the hard drive through the USB port, and the DVR will automatically recognize it. To set the DVR to record onto the external hard drive , access the menu. Under REC tab, select REC device and choose USB....." Seems to me you can do what you seek.

I tried to do this, but the device doesn't work with a hard drive. I wish they would make a version with a DVR or hard drive storage.

The question has already been answered from below comments, and I also would highly recommend this unit. I also have transferred many of my record LP. , and also my old 7in reel to reel recordings to cd.

You can import the info into your computer but it requires a special program. It also loses quality because DVDs are compressed data. My recommendation is to burn to DVD with chaptering for general viewing but save your tapes to mini DV or a dedicated hard drive for future editing.

If you're using a Windows PC, try downloading .mov files from the SD card onto your hard drive. Then right click on that file and choose "open with", and use a different program, e.g., such as Windows Media Player.

On the back of the recorder is a slide button. When you slide that down, a USB connection emerges from the bottom of the recorder. Just plug that into the USB port of a computer, and the recorder will show up in your computer files as if it were a thumb drive. You can then access the files (they are listed by date if you have set the date/time on the recorder), and you can rename them, and drop and drag them (or just save them) to folders on the computer. It's really a neat feature of this recorder, and one of the reasons I bought it. It's worked great for me.David

It requires a FireWire cable from your camera to your computer. You'll need video editing software to read and extract the tape to digital format. For Mac users, iMovie or Final Cut.

I'm using MP4 and not having a problem, but they are large files. Running windows 8.1, 12 GB memory.

you can use 2.0 or 3.0 usb cables but not tape unless you have adapter. You can transfer video from PC to this external hard drive using either USB fine.

Unfortunately, my experience is that the hard drive will not connect with the CISNO system; I suspect that there are control commands that need sent that the CISNO system simply cannot send. Either way, an inexpensive 4G or 8G USB drive would be more than enough for almost any use, and as you take the audio files off the USB drive onto the hard drive, you can rename them to your pleasure. Ah, my advice, by the way, is to keep good notes as to which file is what tape, too.

I copied the disk contents on a USB stick from a work system. You may want to do the same.

Any "Hi 8" camera with playback that you can borrow from a friend for a couple of days should show any of your tapes. You should also consider getting a "one touch video capture device" from Amamzon ($25), connecting the borrowed camera to your PC and then moving all the tapes to digital data on your PC. You will experience minor quality losses, but will be able to play them on your flatcreen TV and save them to CDs and DVDs for future viewing convenience. Alternatively, if you have a recent DVD recorder hooke up to your TV, you should be able to play the tapes directly into the Recorder and burn DVDs of each tape.

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.
