Hello,

i have a Di8 camera and can perfectly edit my movies
through firewire capture. I still have some Hi8 tapes i
want to edit too. I cannot play these in my Di8 camera.
Is there any possibility to download a Hi8 tape into an
digital avi format ...or to copy a tape from a Hi8 camera
to a Di8 camera via a specific cable ??

Hi

Which camcorder brand/model do you have?

Most D8 are able to playback Hi8 and even to capture Hi8 through i.Link.
(except e.g. Sony DCR-TRV130 / TRV130E )
Some D8 have AV-IN (there you may connect the Hi8 camcorder) -> some even a
AV->DV-OUT (passthrough - without recording to a D8 tape).

=> Perhaps you have the "wrong" D8 camcorder for your requirements?

And if you have the Hi8 captured as DV on the PC, your camcorder should have
DV-IN to export back on a D8 Tape...

Cheers,
Hausi
