Can I also convert Sony Camcorder Analog tapes with this equipment??

It is my understanding the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD for Mac will work with any analog source. My submitted issue with Roxio is that the product no longer provides the software needed to make DVDs after the conversion from analog to digital. (as advertised on web site and box)

I'm pretty sure not, you need a computer to run the software that actually does the recording, not to mention the hard disk onto which the files are written. This device only encodes your analog material into digital, it doesn't have any processing capacity or disk space...

I believe so - I was converting VHS "C" format & 8MM. Very cumbersome process and I had to find a player that played those devices. Somebody has to come our with a better system. But after ,many hours (dyas) I did get 2-3 movies to come out fairly clean and audible.

Best guess is they will work.. My old sony cams used to tranfer tape to digital use RCA plugged into BNC fittings which twist onto the little processor box. I also checked one of my security cams and the fittings going into the DVR are identical. Also googled and found most cams are analog but when you plug them into you DVR they become digital. As for security cams... you are looking for the most LINES OF RESOLUTION for the money. One thousand and eighty lines is HD, If I recall old analog TV was possibly 4/500 lines of resolution. I ended up with SONY 1000 lines(very sweet) but not cheap, Thank the lord for E-Bay Hope that helps Best guess is they will work..

I am not sure what you mean for old tapes. You can use standard 8mm 8, or, the Hi 8 Digital tape. See the manual at: https://docs.sony.com/release/CCDTRV128.pdf good luck

Yes. I only use Sony MP 120, 8 mm video cassettes since they are the most compatable with a Sony camcorder.

I believe they would - my tapes worked fine. However, I did learn all 8 mm recorders are not the same. Sony has a web site that can tell you which recorders are compatible. I checked the Sony site then looked for a recorder that was compatible. After you get a list of which recorders will work you can look for one on Amazon. I recorder my 8 mm tapes to DVD and it all worked fine. Hope this helps

I had one of these sony recorders. I could not get the thing to work right. It made 1 or 2 Dvds, & that was it. I sent it back, got my money back, & never used one again. I do not think it will covert the codec( the NTSC) format, but I'm not sure. Do you have a computer? If you do, There's a huge variety of dvd direct to pc coverter systems to chose from. I'd try that.

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.

Yes, the best results will be if you have a compatible Sony camcorder as you will be able to do many copy features via automation. Inputs available - DV (firewire), S-Video, composite video and stereo audio. NO HDMI input. If the camcorder is non-Sony you can still select your inputs from the menu but the camcorder will not automatically drive the DVD Recorder VRDMC5. See ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY9BHCUnmTQ

I believe so. I have a number of different 8mm Sony camcorders i,e. regular 8, Hi8 and digital 8. They all use the same cassettes. At least that's been my experience.

No analog. Nobody makes it that easy to transfer your old tapes to digital. Digital in and out is via USB using Play Memories software.

I don't think so. You can either paly VCR tapes or DVD's, but I don't think it's a converter.

I'm in the same boat --- have lot's of 8Hi camcorder tapes I would like to convert to DVD --- will this machine do this function?

This camera did not work with my 8 mm tapes. I had to return and they charged me 35% to accept it back (they said that it was due to handling to restock again???). Take care. Anyhow, finally I send my tapes to be converted to digital and ... no more need for 8 mm.
