I recently had some people helping me out with some video recordings. 
Some tapes I got in 8mm and have always been able to transfer these to 
VHS or DVD via RCA cables. Similarly I got some that were Digital 8 and 
I was able to do likewise. 
 
Recently I got some Mini DV (not Mini DVD) tapes and discovered after 
the fact that all of these recordings were done in such a format that 
the Audio is not reproducible by any other means than from the guy who 
taped these for me. The video always comes through fine, it's just the 
audio I am having trouble with. I tried a couple of iterations of 
swapping out the audio cables and made sure they were properly 
connected. 
 
He left a few untransfered to DVD for me and now I am stuck with Mini 
DV tapes that I can not get the sound out of. I suspect these were 
recorded in 16 bit Audio, because all of the 12 Bit recordings play 
back just fine. I have tried in vain using other camcorders and even 
messed with every combination of audio setting on the camcorder with 
the RCA jacks, but the Audio just does not come through. I have only 
tried using RCA jacks, I am not familiar with other technologies. 
 
If someone can help me figure out how to recover the audio from these 
recordings along with the video stream, I would be very thankful.
