Is it possible to connect an 8mm camcorder to a modern DV camcorder to transfer 8mm film to DV?

I have a DCR PC9 and I am very pleased with the camera, i think models are very similar. DV IN/OUT works very well, image quality is very good and i think it has good mic, very effective at wind conditions. It does a good job converting analog to digital. Pacman "vanes" wrote in message

I also add that I think sony cause i listen it's the best, but if you wonna suggest me other cams, with dv in middle level, I will accept every suggestion. Thank you again

I am unable to get Studio 8 to output a rendered video to my DV camcorder via th IEEE-1394 link. The camcorder starts and the tape advances by the duration of the rendered video but nothing is recorded. My PanasonicCamcorder model NV-DS33 has had the DV-in enabled. Can anyone advise how I can overcome this problem please. Gordon Wilkinson

Would I get better results when using Vegas 4 to render as avi and then convert to mpeg2 using something like procoder or just keep it simple and use main concept plug-in for Vegas mpegs? Thanks for any answers.

Recently bought my first digital camcorder (Sony PC8E). I want to transfer footage onto video CD's - I do not have a DVD burner I know (?) that I need a firewire card & some software; Dabs have the Lucent 3 port firewire card inc Cyberlink Power Director SE for £15 (quicklink 17ZKWS).

"DJ" wrote in message ... I have a dvd writer and a dvd rom. Does it matter which is master and which is slave? Thanks I temporarily have a LiteOn 52x CD-burner as my master, and a Pioneer DVR-105 as slave. I burn CDRs on the LiteOn and DVDs on the Pioneer equally well.

Any suggestions(apart from the obvious one) please. I have got an 8mm Sony digi DCR-TRV730E, worked fine when using Adobe, MGI VideowaveIII, Ulead etc etc, when I was using 98SE. I was talked(nagged) into upgrading the operating system to XP and the inevitable happened. Lost the use of many peripherals including the the Digicam, XP refuses to allow the dirvers etc to load. Finally after 3...

i'm using ulead 5.0 with a sony handycam and ti drivers. when i try to capture, i get a message after a few seconds that there is no common media type between the pins. i'm using AVI 720x480 DV NTSC 29.97fps because i've used this before and it has worked. i've also tried other formats since i got the error but none has worked. what's the problem? thanks for any help gary

If I have a film bought new on VHS in the early 90s, am I entitled to download a digital copy of it, for the higher quality, or do I have to pay for it again? (in which case forget it!) Download from where? Any file available for download isn't going to be better quality than the VHS. Anyway, you know the answer perfectly well. :-)

Is the DV or MiniDV compression format lossy in any way whatsoever or is it non lossy like for example the zip format? Tia

Hi, I am considering buying a new camcorder and am a little lost with regard to which one to go for. I am a little sweet on the new Canon MV6iMC but as it is quite new I don't expect to see a magazine review for a while. can anyone suggest a good active Website that has reviews and comments from real users that I might find useful for some research. Thanks.........

Is there a program available which will let me split a large AVI file into more manageable parts? I have a 14gig file which I'd like to split into 3 or 4 smaller parts. Mike.
