Is it possible to convert Digital 8 tape to VCD on my PC? If so, what all hardware and software would be required?
(I'm unfamiliar with Hi-tech stuff so please give me very simple tips. Thanks) |

The simplest tips I can give you is to "READ THE MANUAL".
Find out if your camcorder have the ability to transfer from camera to PC.
Get good software and do not go cheap then complain later that you have problems.
Use software that can make VCD.
Read the manual that came with your software.
Is that simple enough? |

Thanks Berny. I am yet to buy the camcorder and I want to ensure that I buy the camcorder which facilitates this conversion. can you off the cuff, can you tell me whether Sony TRV285E offers such facility? |

I will never suggest any cmaera that uses 8mm tape format even if it facilitates conversion. Use a camera that is in MiniDV format or one that uses a hard disk drive to store movie footage. |
