Need Help With Hi-8 Tapes
Charlie Miller:
I have about 50 Hi-8 masters that need to be transferred. What is the best way for me to do this? Rob Eaton offered to transfer the tapes but his deck's firewire output crapped out. I need to get these transferred and also capture the audio in the highest quality possible. I figured I could take an analog audio out and go from there.
Any input is appreciated

Do you have the Hi 8 deck?
I have the rest of the chain but no Hi 8 deck.
PM me with details .
beatkilla:
You don't want to go analog out you need to digitize these thru something like a Canopus standalone or a Sony mini dv deck or cam that has ADC pass thru.All of these methods need FireWire and you'll need WinDv or similar capture program on your computer....look out for dropped frames .

I have nothing but the tapes. The analog out part was just about the audio. If the audio can be captured digitally, that would be great. But yeah, the video part is important too.

Information about the three 8mm formats....it's possible these may be digital 8
