Digitising Composite Video - any recommendations for a composite upscaler and HDMI capture device?

I looked into Firewire to USB C adaptors but apparently you have to go Firewire DV to Firewire 800 > Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt 2 > Thunderbolt 2 to USB_C and then pray all the cables and converters work with each other!

So svideo it is then :D.

I think I googled the exact same thing to see if Firewire DV was feasible with my Sony TRV, with the exact same "Christ! I'll just use S-Video!" conclusion. :D

Mind you, I do still have an old mobo with onboard Firewire, but that would entail me able to bother with building a PC around it just for a a load 8mm holiday tapes.

I found an old Hi8 camera in the dump the other day... I don't make a habit of picking stuff out of the bin, but it was sitting right there in the electronics skip when I went to throw some bits.

No battery or PSU, so I need to find one that fits, and it's probably dead anyhow! But looks in very good nick

It wasn't my old one that I chucked? :cry:

Make sure you give the head and other internals a clean before you put a tape in it. Good luck on getting it working.
