• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I am attempting to fine either Canon or Sony camcorders which play Hi8 tapes so that I can convert my tapes from analog to digital, and then edit them on iMovie on my iMac.

Does anyone know some models of Canon and/or Sony camcorders that play Hi8 tapes...I know that technology is old and so I am looking for a used camcorder.

Secondly, I need to somehow, when playing the tapes, get the end product into iMovie.

Anyone have suggestions?
