Do you still have the camera? if so, what outputs does the camera have? Firewire? composite?

What are the specs of your PC and the OS it's running? CPU and RAM are the two main things that's important for a PC to be able to edit and burn video.

What about one of those? I have personal experience with that particular model and can tell you it works well, does what it describes.

837504 2009-12-10 02:09:00 My only problem is a faulty camera that eats the tapes sometimes..?!!?!?! keithmnz (15494)
837505 2009-12-10 02:26:00 True, so you only option really is to find someone with a Hi8 camera you can borrow then... wratterus (105)
