Transferring footage directly to External Hard Drive

[thewelshman1943]

Hi to: Chris, Bob, Jim, Charles & Martin.

Many thanks to you all for your kind replies and helping me out with my problem, it really is much appreciated.

To Martin:

Grimsby Town Football Club ...... Well we all have our crosses to bear [But There Again .. We support Manchester United & Prestatyn Town]

But seriously, if you had not give me details of my son's JVC, I would be buying a Sony Digi-8

We have had this camcorder since new [about 4-5 years] complete with manual etc etc......I did not know there was an s-video connection on it.

Problem solved..... I will lend it to my friends with a trill hard drive [for 32 films]. I will also give them a copy of adobe premiere elements or Avid Express Pro

One thing though.

Could they use a far simpler way of Hi-8 to JVC to hard drive and would they just save the work in 32 seperately named files

If they transferred through ... example, ULEAD could I still edit through adobe or avid .... or not

Thank you

Tony

Tony,

I have heard of Prestatyn Town but Manchester United, who are they?

As regards transferring to a hard drive, I'm sorry but wouldn't know, I have only ever edited on a Casablanca, perhaps some others may be a bit more knowledgeable.

Best of luck with the project.

Hey....Manchester United was mentioned in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Did you see it?
