Alright, so I've run into a major hitch in my plan. Time to make a video. Seems simple, right? And it would be, except that I have an old school 8mm camera and no way of hooking it up to my computer to post new videos.
So, this camera that I have is a Samsung model SCL610, and it has two possible outputs that I could use, though I'm not sure which is best. There is an S-Video output and an A/V Out output. I'm guessing that the A/V Out is my best bet, but how do I plug it into my computer?! The jack for theoutput is what seems to be a standard 1/8" plug, and I assume that the best thing I could do is plug this into a usb port on the cpu. Does anyone know anything that will help me?
Confused,
M. Chase
ps~also, since I know that all five of you who are now following me are just positively dying to know, I laid down the structure for my next song today. It's one I wrote a very long time ago and it's about time I made it real. I should have it finished by weeks end if all goes well. If not, then it could be months ;)
****UPDATE**** So I've found a little device on eBay called the "easycap" and it is exactly what I was looking for. Hopefully it will actually work.
you will probably need to visit a photo processing shop, usually they will havea machine that will transfer old video output and film to a MPEG format. if you do not have the means to convert yourself you will have to rely on outside technical help and equipment. digital archelogy and analog to digital conversion is a gold mine waiting to be exploited!
