Im not super techy...but, I have a dvd recorder and a video player, my 8mm cam has an adapter to play it in the video player, and I hooked my videe outputs to the inputs on my dvd recorder [the dvd recorders sell rather cheaply now at places like walmart, mine was 49.95] and I play the video and record on the dvd recorder, then I can view on the tv or play it in my pc and save it there as well.
