[QUOTE="Sirius Rich, post: 722128, member: 66747"] The old Super 8mm videos were shot with a Sony Handycam Vision CCD-TRV15 NTSC. The Sony camcorder was purchased in the mid-80's and we used this camcorder until around 1998 (latest 8mm metal tapes that I found). You know, kids being born, growing up and a few bass fishing videos. I suspect I will have to use something like a Dazzle 150 to record from playback on my TV. I have used the Dazzle from recorded TV clips to put online. It is old and not sure if my Dazzle will work anymore, I have upgraded laptops and PC's twice and lost the installation CD. The other features that I would need is to be able to run Windows for my work (Office Suite and Adobe Acrobat Pro). I read here that Adobe does not play well with Windows on a Mac. The ability to run both OS X and Windows (not sure if XP Home, XP Pro or Vista is best) would be nice. From searching information on this forum, it looks like a MacBook with 2 gigs of RAM should meet my needs. But, I am not sure what all I need to digitize the old Super 8mm tapes, which Windows OS and additional Apple hardware/software I need. Boot Camp would work, but I like the idea of running both OS at the same time. [/QUOTE]
