  1. Hi8 Converter To Digital
  2. Hi8 Conversion

Bosch wfm 3030 user manual. Video Grabber Capture Card Hi8 VCR VHS to Digital DVD Converter Mac Windows 10. DIGITNOW!Video Capture can connect and capture video to your Mac or PC from any. Virtual dj 8 skins free.

I thought for sure there would already be an answer, but I read for an hour and couldn't find it anywhere on the forum.
Hi8 Video Converter For Mac
  1. I've got a pile of old Hi8 video tapes that I'd like to convert to digital files for use in iMovie and iDVD. I'm aware of the potential hardware solutions, but I have a feeling I'll never get around to buying one and doing the required work. (At least, I haven't yet!) I'm probably better off.
  2. Any camcorder that has Firewire (IEEE1394, Sony i.Link) and is capable of playing your Hi8 tapes will feed directly into your Mac, via the aforementioned Thunderbolt adapter. Failing that, you will.
  3. How to Convert Hi8 to DVD Directly and Quickly. Converting the above-listed formats into DVD.
  4. You'll need audio/video cables to connect the HI8 to the DV cam (use a S-video cable if possible). Then you'll need a firewire cable having 4 pin on one end that connects to the DV cam and 6 pin on the other end that connects to the computer.

I have about 2x D8 tapes, 20x Hi8 tapes, and 3x 8mm tapes that I want to record on my Mac in the least lossy way I can.
Hi8 Video Converter For Mac
Here's what I have so far:
Hi8 Video Converter For Mac
  • backwards compatible Sony DCR-TRV350 D8 camera that has S-video, Composite, and DV/Firewire connections
  • El Gato HDMI 4k Capture Device
  • Composite->HDMI converter
  • A Mac Pro computer with Firewire

Here's what I know so far (and please correct me if I'm wrong):
  • For D8 Firewire is as good as anything
  • For Hi8 and 8mm S-Video is better than both DV and Firewire, because there is less loss/compression
  • Codecs for Mac are limited and my best bet is ProRes

My main questions:
  1. Is all of that correct so far?
  2. Is there a way I can capture a pretty lossless image from what I already have, either with the TRV350->Dv/Firewire->Mac Pro or TRV350->Composite->Composite-HDMI converter->El Gato HDMI capture->Mac Pro?
  3. Or do I need a Hi8 camera with an S-video out and an S-video capture device?
  4. In that case, what is a solid S-video capture device for the Mac? The only one I found that works on Mac (El Gato) says it compresses the video into H264
  5. Finally, is ProRes actually my least lossy codec on Mac and is it actually holding more info to be worth the space requirement?

Thank you so much in advance for your help and I really apologize if this was already answered and I couldn't find it.
