I'm trying to figure out whether I can take an 8mm analog tape, put it into a Sony Camcorder with "Signal Convert Function" and have it convert the tape to DV out through firewire. I've looked and this question seems like it should have an easy answer but I can't find the answer. One site said that you need to dub first. I'm thinking of buying the Sony DCR TRV340 Camcorder to do this conversion. Alternatively, I could buy a capture card and use a regular old analog camcorder to transfer via RCA, but I've heard the Time Based Corrector (TBC) is present in the camcorder but not in the average capture card. I've seen some great TV capture cards, like say the "Diamond TV Wonder HD 650 Combo PCI Express Tuner Card", which can take RCA input, but I don't know how well they would convert the analog signal.
Can anyone clear the confusion for me? I'm tired of searching everywhere for an answer. Much thanks..
