Super 8 mm cameras used to be the standard among video cameras.
Many handheld video cameras from the late 1980s and early 1990s recorded Super 8 mm footage. As video cameras, editing software and computers have become more technologically advanced, Super 8 mm cameras have become more difficult to integrate into modern technology. If you need to convert Super 8 mm to DVD, a firewire cable is necessary.
Instructions
1. Plug a firewire into the space provided on the back of your video camera. This space usually is beneath the battery pack or on the side panel of the camera closest to your viewfinder. Plug the opposite end of the firewire into the back of your computer. Most desktop computers have a port for firewire plugs.
2. Power on your Super 8 mm video camera. Ensure the tape is rewound. Turn the camera to the "Play" mode.
3. Open your video editing or capturing software. You should see the active camera on a small screen in the capture window. Click "Import" while pressing "Play" on your video camera. The software will record all the video from your camera into the computer.
4. Save your recorded video file in a folder. Create a DVD by opening the file in a DVD-burning software program and clicking "Burn."
