These suggestions will work just fine but I'd like to add my 2 cents<br>
here. I suggest using a digital 8 camera like the TRV-430 or sony's<br>
GV-D200 or something in that series. The reason I picked this<br>
hardware is because they have a built in TBC (time base corrector).<br>
This helps the transfer from dropping frames which will result in out<br>
of sync audio. As long as you have a Hi 8 camera, you can use a<br>
transfer box like the pinnacle movie box DV or the like. If you use<br>
this, I'd suggest using an s-video cable from the camera to the<br>
transfer box to minimize loss. Composite will work but it lowers the<br>
quality and adds noise to the signal. VHS tapes on the other hand are<br>
composite and do not benefit using S-video.<br>
