Digital 8 tapes are transferred to a computer using an USB capture card. A tape player is used to output the video to the capture card which then allows the computer to transfer the video.

What is the difference between digital camera and webcam?

A digital camera is a portable camera that runs on batteries and usually has a slot for a memory card to save pictures and videos to. They generally have better image quality, presently ranging from around 8-12 megapixels on average. This is what you usually see people carrying around for taking pictures. A webcam is a small camera that connects to a computer [or is built into a laptop] and is generally used for video chats online. They have lower quality than a digital camera.


How long have digital cameras been around?

The first ever digital camera was invented in 1975 by engineer at Eastman Kodak called Steve Sasson. It was an unwieldy invention, the lens from a Super 8 movie camera, a digital cassette recorder and 16 nickel cadmium batteries! Together with hacked pieces from a voltmeter and an all new charged coupled device imaging array (CCD) it weighed a whopping 8lbs and took 23 seconds to produce the first ever digital image!

Can you use maxell cassette adapter VHS c to convert video 8 P6-120MP tapes to VHS or DVD?

NO you cannot. AS video8 is digital and VHS is analog so they dont work together. The adaptor will only work with VHS-C tapes. What I would recommend is using a video transfer service to convert your video 8 tapes into a digital format. Watch and edit the digital files on your computer or get the tapes transferred to DVDs. StashSpace.Com does a good job at this, costs $7 for the transfer to digital and $10-15 for DVDs. http://www.stashspace.com/video-transfer/video-dvd-transfer.stm

If you have an 8 mm camcorder can you buy software to make home videos on your computer from 8 mm tapes?

You need video editing software and a way to get the images into the computer. As an 8mm camcorder has only an RCA Composite output, this will require you to have a comparable input on your computer. You use the camcorder to play the tapes and input them into the computer. It will be necessary to purchase and install a composite video input card.

How can you convert Hi 8 digital tapes to DVDs?

Send your tapes to a video transfer service. They will have a Hi8 player and be able to convert your tapes to DVD. Some, even have the option for you to edit online or get digital files back on a portable hard drive. StashSpace.Com can do this for $7 a tape. http://www.stashspace.com/video-transfer/hi8-dvd-transfer.stm Another option is to borrow or purchase a Hi8 player from a friend. However, in this case you still need a video capture device to convert the analog signal to digital. If you want to convert a Hi8 or standard 8 tape to DVD, you MUST have a player. * If you only have one or two tapes, then try to borrow a friends, or purchase a Hi8 camera. * There are plenty of folk willing to do the conversion for you ... for a price. Anywhere from $5 to $10 per tape. * If you have lots and lots of tape, consider purchasing a tape player, not a camera. I have a lot of Hi8 tape I need to covert, so I'm looking at purchasing a player. While you're at it, you might want the files converted to MPEG4 or DIVX, as this allows for high quality at a small file size. I plan to convert all files to both MPEG4 (for future editing) and MPEG2 (which is used to create standard DVDs).
