Need Help With Hi-8 Tapes

<< < (9/9)

u2_fly_2:
There´s also an option to convert the Hi8-cassettes in High Quality AVI = which will be close to Blu-Ray-video files. (90 min. approx = 15-20 GB)

Charlie Miller:
I sent the tapes to Kevin Tobin last year. we've been releasing them as they're done.

Well, if you can find a Digital8 camcorder, you can use the firewire output to transfer it to a PC and it will encode the video as DV-AVI (25Mbps) - same bitrate as a miniDV or Digital8 video. This works out to be about 13GB an hour. This video will then need to be re-encoded into a playable (disc or media player) format.

If you don't have a Digial8 camcorder, you can plug your Hi-8 camcorder into an external device like an Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-110. It will also convert it into the DV-AVI format at 25Mbps.
