Im so confused. I have an old school Samsung SCL906 8MM camcorder. Is there any way i can convert it to digital to my Imac G5 (non intel duo)? Like if I record video on it, how would I put it on my computer (to later load on the web, i know that part already :thumbup:)
Thanks!

You need an Analog to Digital converter.

Give that a search in Google and you'll get a lot of hits, but I have the Pyro A/V and it works great for around $175.

THANKS!

1 more ?, when i do that, how would I go about loading in on to my computer itself(forgot to ask in previous post), would I go to iMovie? Or would it read it automaticly with the pyro a/v software? Then load it on its own? And how would i set apart clips since its coming from 8mm and not a digi?

Sorry if my questions are dumb, im noob! lol

Thanks!

When you hook the AV converter up to the computer and the playsource, you use iMovie to import it. The converter uses no software.
