hi guys, firewire output seems to have died on my old Digital 8 camcorder and now I have no way of capturing my footage onto my PC for editing. Funds are really tight and cannot afford a replacement or any repairs at the moment so I need to find some other way of capturing in my action! Bearing in mind that Digital 8 is virtually extinct I tihnk it could be tough. Any ideas? Lets start saving for an FX-1!
how else can I capture my footage...

EDIT: never mind, misread OP.
On a camera old enough to still be using Digital8 I doubt the transfer method will affect the quality much. No offence meant.
lol, none taken - it was a real decent camera in its time and still produces a real good image but just the way things are going now its turned into a dinosaur as far as camcorders go. Will have to give the S-video out a try like posters above suggested.
