I just want to be clear: In order to transfer video tape media onto a computer for viewingediting an interface in between the tape player and the recording computer is needed.

There are two paths available: One that will simply transfer the content of the media onto a computer with limited to no editing capability, and one that will convert the tape content into digital format before storing on the computer in which case more editing capability through iDVD will be available.

Canopus ADVC-300 - this due to that analog tapes often has drop-outs old tapes even worse.

The more expencive box - has timebase correction - and these problems will be very much LESS.

And it can improve the quality a bit too - due to software delivered with it.

I use the Canopus ADVC110, and despite Bengts love of the more expensive 300, the 110 has never failed me in the five years and about 150 tapes I have used it for - and continue to use it for, as I have an analogue Sony Hi8 video camera As for timebase correction: if you have recorded a timeline on the tape before using it, no further correction is required.

I think the 110 is within my price range if I can find it used somewhere because I will just be doing this on a cople three tapes (i8 and VHS) and then it will be all done.

I wonder if the equipment can be rented from somewhere instead of buying.

There are many scenes probably that are out of focus and such that could use being omitted and that is really all that I want to do: to clean them up and then burn a nice and simple DVD of them or share small clips here and there.

The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).

Your workflow is editing DV clips and making DVDs, so iMovie 06 is better suited.

8Mm App Movie Will Arrive

Your movie will arrive at iDVD in DV format, which is an ideal match for making a DVD: same resolution, same pixels aspect ratio, and original quality.

If the material is already in digital format, you dont need an analogue to digital converter.
