Maybe you can help me with a Digital8 question. First of all, which model do
you have? Second, I am thinking of purchasing a Digital8 to assist me with
transferring my collection of standard 8mm tapes to DVD. If you load a
standard (not Hi8) tape into your camcorder, can you transfer that data to
your computer via a Firewire connection (I am assuming your model has
Firewire). If so, can you control the camcorder with your editing software?
Thanks!
