MichaelG Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hi folks Was just wondering if anyone has any experience of the following and can advise on the easiest way..... I will soon have some footage, about an hour or so's worth of drag racing etc, on Hi-8 / Digital 8 tape, but i want to be able to take it off the tape and transfer it to either DVD or onto short small wmv files. Is there a certain kind of software that will allow me to take whats on the tape and put it onto DVD or chop it into small sections for mpegs etc on my hard drive ? Thanks in advance Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
