i.Link (ieee 1394) video capture software |
|
|
I have a sony D8 (digital recording on 8mm tape) handycam. It has an
i.link (ieee 1394/firewire) port. I have a card in my windows pc, and a
cable.
The Sony software is useless.
I want to capture the video through the firewire to my HD, make some
really simple edits (like cutting a segment to length), and record them
to DVD. I've got the Ulead Burn Now software, and it functions for
making the DVDs, so now I need the software to get the video off the
handycam and cut it to length.
I'd like something simple and cheap -- I don't need any fancy features.

Don't know what version of Windows you're using but Windows XP comes with
Windows Movie Maker (free).
It'd probably work fine for most of what you're doing. (though I've never
burned a DVD from it - don't know if it can do that)

I don't know either but Nero can and comes with most DVD burners so he's got
that at least.

Or he could hire me and I'll do it. ;) |

Nero Ultra will do the capture and simple editing. The retail price is |
relatively high, but you can usually find it selling quite a bit cheaper on
fleabay. |

I have Windows 2000, so no Windows Movie Maker.

Scenalyzer is best in my opinion.

Hey! Thanks for the link - I'd NEVER heard of CapDVHS until now and I've
been looking for a no-frills, bare-bones capture tool to save me the trouble
of going into Premiere Pro.
Thanks!

We have some leftover copies of Cyberlink PowerProducer Pro 2.5 that
might do the trick.

I have one of these cameras.
Does anyone know if output goes through the 1394 port when an analog
tape is played? I'm trying to find out if I can transfer my analog
tapes to my PC via 1394.

I use ArcSoft ShowBiz, came bundled with my DVD burner, so the
price was right. Think it's about $99 retail.
Dead simple to capture, edit and burn. Not much of a learning curve.
When using it to capture tapes being played in the camera, is capable
of controlling the camera from the computer, if the camera supports it.
Also use it for capture of VHS-C analog tapes from my old videocam -
play tapes on VCR, use new Mini-DV cam with A/D passthrough to
convert to digital video.
