Hey Vernon again,
Also check out this review and the customer comment on the bottom, sound ok
for capturing directly to dvd format from hi8 tapes
and stuff also don't pay the high prices for it in the link, bestbuy has it
online for $119 and there a $20 rebate on the manufactures web site
but not sure if the upc code will be the right one from bestbuy.com.
Good luck,
AnthonyR.
