Going the "fast" eyeTV-MPEG-encoding method might also lead to asynchronous audio and video as soon as you start to edit the captured MPEG-footage.
MPEG2 etc is also time consuming whilst performed through the Macs power of computing. But DV-footage does take a lot of space (15GB/h), editing is slow, depending on editing demands and converting the video to e.g.

There are full options for editing the DV-footage with iMovie or FinalCut etc. But it's fast and footage does take less space on your harddriveĢ) Encoding from analog to DV (FireWire-connection): Canopus ADVC50/100/110. The option to edit the output video is mainly limited to trim the footage by the included eyeTV-software. (encoding takes place within the external encocer-box):ġ) Encoding from analog to MPEG2 (USB-connection): eyeTV 200 or 250+ (small video-file-size).
There are two choices of external-boxes still available at auctions etc. Then you'll need conversion from analog to digital, mainly by an external encoder box: If your Hi8-Camcorder has only Analog-Out (which is most likely), you'll have that cable with maybe Klinke 3,5-out on one side and a bunch of yellow/red/white chinch-connectors on the other side. (BTW iMovie'06 is the most advanced version, which runs on PowerMacs and it offers the option to include 3rd-party filters and effect which makes iMovie to a real semi-professional video-editor.

Those ones send the DV-stream directly and unchanged through Firewire-connection and encoding to a lower-resolution / another video-format is the time-consuming process, that has to be done by the Mac later, after editing within iMovie. I don't know, if a Hi8 Camcorder, which records analog video will offer that option, since we only owe a DV-Camcorder. If your Camcorder does sport FireWire, you may connect directly to your Mac and record Video-out through FireWire with either iMovie or QuickTime. Those Windows-related USB-dongles are particular picky about the hardware. Click to expand.Hi! That's the kind of stuff I like to tinker with too!
