Hi all,
I have an old Canon hi 8 recorder and I want to copy the tapes to dvd,it has the red white and yellow plugs in the unit.
I had some software many moons ago which sort of worked if you played the disc on a pc but not on a dvd player?
Also it saved the movie as MPGAV (dat file)?

Is there anything better to buy thats pretty easy to use that will save my tapes to a more readable file?

Thanks in advance
Steve

If you have or can borrow a dvd recorder espesialy with a HD that would be easier for you as you could edit out unwanted bits before coying to dvd.

Im not sure google saerch has any more idea than you could get on here but I totally agree that the suggestion of a DVD recorder is very sound and dead easy

Google knows a lot senu and its often quicker than spending ages typing it out yourself
