There is also an H.264 lossless codec, which is what was used for this HD IMGUR tutorial here.Ĭonvert the analog video to digital into what ever format the software supports. Saving them in AVC H.264(.MP4) format using a high data rate, will use a fraction of the space of lossless formats, yet maintain excellent image quality. The best quality would be a lossless video format, but you'll need a lot of disc space. Either way, you'll be converting from analog to digital to store on your computer.

I went on Craigslist, bought a working Hi8 Handycam for 10 bucks, bought a Capture Device, hooked it all up and loaded the software and I'm good to go.ġ) I don't know what the native format is of the Hi8 tapes. Now I want to transfer them to digital format on my computer. I scrapped the camcorder years ago because a power surge blew out the circuitry. I have a pile of old Hi8 recordings from the 90's I recorded on my old Sony camcorder.
