How are you supposed to do this if you don’t have the camera anymore?
I tried doing this but as I was recording, the color of the video started to fade until it turned black and white, and this happened with all my tapes. Not sure how to fix the issue.
I don’t want to send my tapes to get digitized by someone else but I don’t have a camcorder. I had a bad experience where Walmart almost lost my tapes. I’d rather do it myself now. This process looks simple enough but would you suggest buying a camcorder just to avoid having to send it to a business?
man I hope this works for me I was trying to capture it into Premiere pro and media Express with black magic come to find out that most likely it’s a time-based correction issue because on my capture it never sounded right it was always clipping and zipping and exerting and doing weird stuff you’re recording looked really clean I can’t wait to try this
Wrong aspect ratio, not deinterlaced for YouTube, inadequate bitrate and to add insult to injury, incorrect tense in the title — this is a disaster.
The Elgato is the move. I keep finding more tapes to make money back so its really the software your paying for. paid $120
Was that ninpo?
Very helpful and informative. Thank you. The presentation style and content was enjoyable. 😀
“So you don’t have to”? But you’re showing us how to do it for a reason
What are the odds you’re using the same sharp! Thanks man
My camera is broken, I cannot afford those expensive services and I cannot locate another camera that will play 8mm and hi8 tapes. I was lousy about labeling then…my husband video taped the birth of my son who passed at age 22, 5 years ago…my husband died in 2012. It just socks I cannot see those precious memories. I will continue to check Goodwill for old HP HANDYCAMS…gonna save this video tho so one day I might get lucky.
I swear, you sound like Bob Odenkirk!
did i see this roxio software records in mov format?
I have to laugh because our hero has a Hi8 camera but doesn’t have a disc drive!
What format does the software export the video files in?
What if you got a rca USB adapter? So rca on one side and usb on the other? Could I plug that into my computer?
do you think this would work on Sony hi8 cameras and tapes?
For every single at-home procedure for digitizing my tapes I can see a noticeable drop in quality. I can see your tapes have a problem with interlacing. Any tips on resolving that?
Please don’t get rid of the tapes😆
ARE SOME SERVICES SCAMS
I have a Sharp VL-E765 Viewcam 8 DIS which looks like your camera. I have tried the Roxie software and it is not getting any video signal. The breakout cable that came with my camera only has a red and a white connector. Where did you get one with red, white and yellow plugs?
I need this, find 20 year old hi8 records
ok but I don’t have the recording software
I have a Sharp Hi 8 camera like yours. Unfortunately, the problem is not my tapes but my camera. The head just isn’t good. All I get is static. And attempts to clean the heads resulting in crunching and eating of blank tapes. I wish there were as many camera services as there were video transfer services. I have the equipment to transfer the videos myself.
I wish there was a way to do this with an iPad. My father passed recently and he has a ton of hi8 tapes. I purchased a converter on eBay but my iPad doesn’t respond to it.
No one needs help connecting their camcorder and getting the files to digital. I don’t see why YouTube is so full of that
I need help getting the tapes converted without a camera because nobody has one anymore that works.
It’s like telling people how to make 15 million selling a baseball card and you have them start out with first having a rookie Mickey mantle card.
You have a device. The company doesn’t even sell anymore. That’s the hard part
ha hi hahaha i have scart sljdhsjhbahd
Thank you, helped me a lot!
