ok, I bought some content and it's on a wee little digital video casette. I need it on a cd to do anything with it. Can anyone help?

8mm tape? hi8/digital8?

Im not 100%, but i think you need to put the disc in the camera, plug camera into your computer and download it.

if you have a digital video camera, it has a tape in it... this doesn't matter... hook it up to your pc and burn it to a cd

just occured to me... what type of camera is it?

basically yeah.

if it's on a digital video cassette (dig8) you'll need a DV camera and a firewire card usually to get it onto the computer.

tape says "mini DV DIgital video cassette"

I don't have a video camera, fuck I hardly ever even use my digital camera.

Is a firewire card always needed? Or can you just use USB or something?

Sleeezy, here's what you do.; You are gonna need a digital camera for this or at least a mini dv player, there's no way around that. I would imagine you have a laptop. Instead of buying an unnecassary piece of equipment for this one little project do what I do when I need a simple thing done and I am on the road & away from a critical piece of equipment...

Go to the electronics store and take your firewire or 1394 cord and load it from one of their demo cameras. Yeah, I know it's the cheap bastard way but in cases like this... it works!

If the clerk looks at you funny slip him a $5 or $15cdn which is more than he makes in and hour and you will be fine.

Here's what you do -- find someone that already encodes video and get them to do it for you -- much cheaper, they can do it right --

Pray to the almighty party goat.

If all else fails, shoot yourself in the head.
