[DM-MUG] import from HI-8 video camera

[John Robertson]

These suggestions will work just fine but I'd like to add my 2 cents  
here. I suggest using a digital 8 camera like the TRV-430 or sony's  
GV-D200 or something in that series. The reason I picked this  
hardware is because they have a built in TBC (time base corrector).  
This helps the transfer from dropping frames which will result in out  
of sync audio. As long as you have a Hi 8 camera, you can use a  
transfer box like the pinnacle movie box DV or the like. If you use  
this, I'd suggest using an s-video cable from the camera to the  
transfer box to minimize loss. Composite will work but it lowers the  
quality and adds noise to the signal. VHS tapes on the other hand are  
composite and do not benefit using S-video.
