can Sony Hi8 videos be captured at any pc software

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I'm new in this field and want to know and learn converting analog videos to digital format. I have Sony Video Hi-8 handycam, not a digital cam with firewire link or Usb just an RCA output, and i want to edit analog videos recorded thru this camera using video editting softwares available. Is there a hardware that uses RCA as inputs because i see only Firewires and USB (i guess these ports are for digital cams)? if there is any hardware/software that uses RCA as inputs please share a few... Thanks... Elmer

There is such hardware and it's called an analogue Video Capture Card. Apart from this, www.videoguys.com, www.geocities.com/aussie01au, www.inmatrix.com, www.vcdhelp.com, www.flexion.org, www.desktopvideoworld.com, and of course, ALL of the thousands of entries right here in this forum. Trawl through the lot...
