The Digital8 camcorder has a 1394 output and an analog output. You can use
the analog output with the included cable (mini-plug on one end & red,
white, yellow on the other) to record directly to a VCR. Just plug the mini
into the camcorder (near the front by the lens and behind the little plastic
door) and plug the others into their respective color coded inputs on the
VCR. Hit record on the VCR and play on the camcorder.
Other ways to do it. The camcorder did not come with a 1394 cable. If you
system has 1394 in it, go buy a cable at the local electronics store - Best
Buy, Circuit City and Radio Shack have them. Most 1394 cards have a 6 pin
port on them. Your camcorder has a 4 pin port. You will need a 6 pin to 4
pin 1394 cable.
Once you have this hook the cable to the camcorder and turn on the power.
You computer will more than likely make some two tone noise showing the link
is enabled. Now, open Windows Movie Maker and select to capture video. The
settings you want will be DV-AVI for capture.
If you are capturing to your system drive you should know this is not ideal.
If you have no other drive to capture on make sure the system drive is
defragmented, this will help give a smoother capture. Also, be aware that DV
qulaity video is about 13GB per hour, so you need plenty of capture space.
You should be able to compile you project within Windows Movie Maker by
reading the easy to follow intructions included inside the program. After
you have completed you project export the video to MPEG-2 DVD compliant
files for creating a DVD in Nero.
In Nero use the Wizard to select DVD Video as your project settings. Follow
the steps and you shoulld end up with a fairly good DVD for playback.

I have a sony digital 8 camcorder. I need to transfer my video to a
form someone without a camera can see. After I tried with the software
that came with the camera (unsuccessfully) to burn to cd-rom, I
purchased a sony dvd recorder and it came with nero software. Results
are very jumpy video on both the DVD and when I captured it to my hard
drive. Obviously, my capture isn't right. Help please--I don't care how
but I have to be able to get this video to a viewable without the
camera form.
