If you can borrow a DV camcorder that has video inputs, that's probably the best method. While DV is both a wrapper and a codec definition, AVI and MOV are simply wrappers and would also require a video codec. It is a delivery and presentation format.ĭiscreet video formats might include AVI and MOV and DV. DVD format is a dialect of MPEG 2 and does not use discreet frames. At any rate you want a video format on the computer that has discreet frames, not a DVD format. I believe the best format for that is either direct into the computer using an A/D card or using a DV camcorder as a converter and transfer device. If you want to edit the video on the computer it will have to be digitized. Hi8 is an older analog format and, yes, it will only have S-Video and Composite video output, as well as analog audio. I don't have it here at the moment but it says sony Hi8 on the side `i remeber- any use?
