It is a Sony video camera.. uses those little 8mm cassette things.. I think the quality is lost going from analog to digital? Or the quality could of been lost when the person who transfered did it and used crappy settings to save space?

 

It looks good on the TV, just not on the computer.... Any ideas on what equiptment to use to make it better? I'd like to get a digital video camera, just not in the budget right now.

Nick, i use an Sony ccd-TRV 16 video 8, 8mm "handy-cam" myself, it makes some good videos for my website, i use a "quick tv" capture card and then the windows movie maker, to edit/compile the video. I usually choose the best quality video capture setting that the windows movie maker offers when the video really counts. what program do you use?

Mark the Sony I have is the CCD-TR818 Hi8.. It is a nice little "HandyCam" http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif

 

I tried using the "Dazzle" USB video converter thing... Apparently the hardware is decent enough, it is their software that is horrible.. for the two clips that I posted they were actually a part of a larger file that I cut the clips from... I used the built in Movie Maker that is in Windows XP Pro to do that.

 

The original larger clip was made using Studio 8 from Pinnacle I believe, a friend did it for me since I couldn't get the dazzle stuff to work...

 

I've never heard of the quick tv piece that you have, any idea where to get it? I usually just see the stuff from Dazzle or Pinnacle..

Nick, the "quick tv" capture card is from adver-media. i bought it at frys electronics in oregon, it allows me to watch tv while on my computer! but what good is that? not sure, but it works though.
