Oh my gosh you guys are complicating this way too much, I did this for my grandmother the other day. I took all of her 8mm tapes, and made them in to dvd's in a 1,2,3. And you dont even need a Computer to do this. Okay, first all you need is a VCR, which probably everyone has in a closet somewhere, a VHS tape from the 99 cent store, A TV, a DVD R/W, a couple of blank DVDs, oh and your old 8mm camcorder. Although it takes a few steps, its super easy to do. *First connect your VCR to your TV, place a blank VHS in to the VCR.
*Take your 8mm tape, place it in your camcorder.
*Take the AV in and out, and connect it to your camcorder and the other end to your VCR, (make sure you have your VCR NOT set on LP, because of picture quality)
*Turn on VCR (Make sure you fastforward a little of the blank tape, just about 3 secs, you dont want any thing to get cut off)
*Turn on your camcorder(Make sure your 8mm tape is completely rewinded)
*Press RECORD On the VCR, Press PLAY on the Camcorder.
*Now go get a bowl of chips and sit with your family to watch the home movies. (Aaaa, memories)
*After youre done watching or done doing something else, Stop the camcorder, and turn it off. Take your, VHS and Rewind it.
*Leave the VHS in the VCR. This time place your blank DVD in the DVD player, and Record, every thing off the VHS. THE END.
