I never thought I was stupid until I purchased a Sony Handycam CCD-TRV87 NTSC. I would realllllly like to upload the great video from my the Hi-8 tapes to my Dell pc.

The problem is that there are no usb or firewire hubs on the camcorder - only RCA cable and S-video. I purchased an Easycap 2.0 usb video capture adapter but the quality of video and audio after transfer is crappy.

I installed a firewire card but, alas, I cannot find any cables to bridge my camcorder to the firewire ports.

I would toss this camcorder but the quality when playing back on tv is fantastic and I can't help but think there's something out there that will work, I just don't know what it is.

I also used the Dazzle thing and took it back to the store the next day for the same reasons stated above. The Sony site is worthless for this older model camcorder and I'm at the end of my rope.

It would be lovely to not spend more than what I paid for the camcorder as well (which is not that much). Can anyone help?

Teresa,

Buy a DVD recorder. Best Buy sells several models.
This will be the easiest way to get video from your camcorder to a DVD disk.

Connect the video out from the camcorder to video in on the DVD recorder. Very simple.
