i have years of sony 8mm analog movies and now am
wondering if it is practical to upgrade PC to include card
to download/edit these. most references i find speak of
firewire connection so assume fast is a must. i would be
using the RCA connectors on the camera. Dell offers a card
to do this, but again is the camera download too slow to
work??
 
Firewire is for digital camera transfer... To do what you want you will need
a good quality video capture card such as the ATI All In Wonder cards. Then
it's an easy process but you will need at least a 1ghz PC and lots of HD
space....
