about our video tape

No comments

We used to bring along our video cam when we go for a holiday. About 2 years ago, I sold it off as thought want to get a lighter and smaller video cam from Japan. I even have check out which model to get. But then after think twice and thrice, we decided not to buy it. The reason is, we got no extra hand to hold and shoot the video. Imagine, I have to hold my dslr and for sure the hub needs to take care of the two kids. *feel a bit guilty as we don’t have any video of the boy but a lot of videos of the gal*

So far I have only got one clip converted from the 8mm film to DVD and that cost me 30 bucks! And, I still have about six tapes waiting to be converted from film to DVD. Instead of sending the tape to sony center to do the converting, I think better I check out if I can do it by myself to save the money. Obviously, a piece of DVD is much cheaper than what I have to pay to Sony Center!

Last time I did tried once to do it at my own to convert the FILM TO DVD but it was failed and the clip was not smooth although it was viewable. The software I used needs a don’t-know-what card to capture the clip (to make sure the clip could play smoothly) and that explain why it was failed. Furthermore, it took me so long time to get it loaded to the system although the burning process is fast! Since that, I never do it again. Think I have to check with friends and see, if there is any better software to do that without the need of an expansion card.
