I have a bunch of old 8mm tapes and eventually want the footage on an external hard drive that I will stream to a apple tv,mac mini or ps3, not sure yet.
These are analog and I have some options:
1)find a digital8 and import directly to imovie
2)burn to stand alone dvd recorder then rip to mp4
If the original footage is analog is there a point in saving the footage once my mac as .dv? this seems to take up alot of space.
I burned a dvd from the 8mm tape on a stand alone burner and then compare this footage to footage from my now mini dv camcorder, honestly I cannot tell a difference, also when I compare a mp4 file to dv file I do not see a difference.
Also what format is best for viewing on app tv or a mac mini connected to a hdtv, mp4 right?
