Can anyone recommend a good place to get this done? I have a bunch of hi8 video tapes (about 10 I think) from an old tour. My hi8 camera output is kinda screwy so I'm looking to get a clean transfer to digital.

Post or email prices if you're offering services yourself.

Does Island Video at Douglas and Saanich do that? They seem to dabble in all forms of transfer.

shoot me an email to discuss it.

Do you have a HI8 unit? In theory, run the video outs to either a DVD recorder or VHS, and record in realtime. - Fri, 11 Sep 2009 8:35pm
