Question 1

I just want to know how we move 8mm to dvd - also can we edit?

Accepted Answer

You cant really edit the video with this software. This does a pretty good job converting your 8mm tape to digital files. You install the software, plug the component plugs from your 8mm camera/player to the box. Another cable coming out of the box plugs into your laptop via usb. After that, you startup the software follow the simple prompts until you get to a record screen. Hit play on your camera/player and when the video comes up on your computer screen click the record button. This will create an mpeg video file. Once you create the mpeg video file you can always edit your video files in another video editing application.Once you are done editing your video file you can always burn it to a DVD.

Question 2

Does it work for mini dv tapes

Accepted Answer

The tapes aren't the issue. This device takes analog video (NTSC) and makes it digital. The video on Mini-DV tapes is already digital but it is in a format (DV) that can be tricky getting onto a computer.

Firewire is the only way I know of to make this transfer, so you'll need hardware for the connection and software to capture and store it. That would not be this product.

I have a DV camcorder and installed a firewire card in my PC. Have not succeeded in getting it to work, which might be an issue with the hardware. But just now I searched to see whether Adobe Premiere Pro (the pricey version) can do this. Presumably yes, but there is a page of potential troubleshooting steps that is literally dozens of ways things can go wrong. The long and short is, I gave up on firewire and instead now I'm going to use the camcorder's analog output and a device like this. Very frustrating but that's where I came out. In any case this device will be useless for a firewire connection.

SO as you see, the tapes do not matter. If your playback device outputs both firewire and analog -- it probably does -- you can use the analog with a product like this. The plugs do not care what tape you used.

Question 3

I want to convert old  vhs tapes to dvd's my old vcr has only white and yellow cable connections.(no red) will this work on my vcr?

Accepted Answer

As has been explained, your machine is apparently so old it only recorded monaural sound. That's why just one audio cable coming out. That's okay, but you might have to finagle to get sound on both channels of your digital recording. Sometimes, if you put just one audio source into the left input of the recorder, it will default to put that same audio on both left and right, so when you play it back on your stereo TV you don't just hear sound from one side of the room. If it does not work that way, you can just get an adapter, one plug in and two plugs out, and thus fill up both audio channels. Super simple and cheap and buy it anywhere, at any stereo shop, or here on Amazon no doubt.

Question 4

for some reason i was unable to burn to dvd after processing a vhs tape. there is a mpg output file. how do i get vidbox to burn that mpg file to dvd?

Accepted Answer

Directly after recording a file, it should move to the Step 4 screen which will have the Burn DVD option. Clicking that option should allow burning to disc. If the program fails to burn successfully, you should be able to try again as long as you do not close the program.
