Discuss Anyone tried one of these (or similar)? at the Digital Cameras and Camcorders within the Digital World Forums; I have to copy some recordings off an old camcorder (before it dies!) - it's only got phono for video/audio out and, so far, I've only managed to get an old VCR to talk to ... Re: Anyone tried one of these (or similar)? If you have a newer DV camcorder, or you can borrow one, with composite video/audio input you might be better off copying to that then firewiring to your pc/mac. It's a bit of messing around but has great results. Re: Anyone tried one of these (or similar)?

In your situation I think that the obvious and still cheapo way to do this would be to use/get/borrow a DVD recorder (the kind that were intended to do away with video recorders for recording from your tv) and scart into that and copy to a dvd disk of your choice. Then make sure you get the dvd recorder to "finalise" the disk, or otherwise "make compatible" to enable the pc to have no problems reading from it. Then rip the vobs or the separate recordings to your hard drive with your software of choice, then finally edit together and burn. I am sure you will have many recommendations concerning which softwares to use, should you need it. Anyone
