WOW!!! Glad I checked out more of your channel and found THIS set up compared to your previous one from last year!!! Gonna show this to a loved one who owns a Sony Hi8 😁

[@ThumperX]

Thank you for both of your videos on this subject. Keep up the good work. Regards

[@lakeenglercantskate69420]

Thank you for your help I love filming with my hi 8 cam it’s just the tapes that suck to get 🙏

[@betolopez3470]

I don't want to buy any device until they finally make a device that connect the 4 pin firewire to the video capture that will keep the footage quality 100%. Anything out there yet or maybe it will never hgappen.

[@decay16]

nah fr, feel like all these conversion software's got hella quality degradation.

The conversion works best on Windows Movie Maker believe it or not because any HD conversion will record the 480p scanlines in 1080p and that's not pretty. You don't want those horizontal lines going through the picture all the time and it makes a curved object like a plane or people look like a series of Zs instead of a curved line . WMM gives a slightly fuzzy look to 480p while at the same time keeps the lines of any building, plane or even people clean.

[@74360CUDA]

Also, the computer can control a Handycam through Windows Movie Maker and you can record, save and edit without ever touching the camera once you plug it in through a firewire.

[@merryweathersecurity8201]

Dude you legit killed it on this video, one of the most clear and understandable tapeless camcorder vids out there. I’ve got one question though, I am currently putting together my own build, it’s a Sony CCD-TRV43. I managed to find a powerplay, and I was planning on getting a devbuild cable as well. but I’ve realized that my camcorder has a separate audio and video port, do I need get a either different cable or adaptor? I guess I’m just a bit confused on connecting everything for some reason lol. Once again great video! Wouldn’t have got this far without it dude

[@TylerCaseyProd]

The one cable does video and audio

[@TylerCaseyProd]

@@KojiLocks which cam do you have?

[@YaBoyChe]

I have a Sony TRV37. I ordered those Sony NP batteries and the Devbuild mount for underneath the camera. I have the exact phone holder you’re using ( i have the same setup with the clearclick from your old video ). Is there anything else i will need? Does the devbuild part need something else to hold onto the phone holder?

[@stick_of_butta8287]

Hey do you know of a way to change the aspect ratio thing without having premier pro because my footage is coming out looking weird

[@YaBoyChe]

6:56 I ordered that piece from DevBuild , and i have the exact same phone mount, but mine doesn’t fit into the devbuild piece. How did you get it to fit

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

I have my old TRV900 that i'm running the clear click on it. I think you definitely lose some quality with the clear click but I don't really mind it as it gives me a more rugged "90s" look to it in my opinion.

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Yeah I have the clear click, power play, and the elgato capture card. I will have to test all 3 and compare.

[@JBer-o9d]

What type of output does my camera need so that everything can be transmitted?

[@sosa4606]

Hey is there anyway this will work whit cd camrecorders ? , I have a Sony handy cam dcr-dvd101 and it’s telling my disc error n stuff so I js wanna use something like this to eliminate the problem and film stuff and on top of that it won’t lose the stuff I recorded

[@rushhourfishing2946]

Love the video! Does it also record the camcorder's microphone feed?

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Yes it does!

[@SilverSwagboss]

What do you think is the best value second hand vhs/hi8 camera to get? Also what's the best place to buy them. I've seen quite I couple on ebay but it would suck to buy it and find out it doesn't work after the purchase

[@SilverSwagboss]

Also are the microphones on these vintage cameras bad? And if so what is the best add on microphone to use? I'm mostly looking to record car meets so there would be a decent amount of loud noises from backfire and engine revs

[@TylerCaseyProd]

@@SilverSwagboss The microphone is not the best. You can ordered a TESTED one off eBay but they are pretty expensive. You can check Facebook market place, local thrift stores, Flea markets to try and snag one at a cheap price. You may want to record audio separately unless you want that dirty vintage sound with the footage.

[@Anthony-ef3hg]

So this would work for a mini DV camera aswell? Looking at the Sony pc100 right now

[@TylerCaseyProd]

Yes almost all camcorders 📹

[@iloveyourvideos]

What camera's do you recommend for this setup?

[@TylerCaseyProd]

I like any Sony handy cam. The 2 I have are the: TRV17 and the TRV58

[@TheJamieMabon]

How is the quality of footage compared to the clearclick? Thanks!

[@TylerCaseyProd]

They are pretty close. Clearclick maybe better using s video cable actually.

[@tflh]

@@TylerCaseyProd the clearclick 3.0 has an internal battery and its a full screen, the quality from it is amazing ive bought this and compared and the new clearclick is alot better

[@MichelVietz]

Hi, I got a TRV510e today and I cant use the battery's I've got, they're not infoLithium battery and the Camcorder won't work with them, I wonder how your camcorder did accept the other batterys like the one with the USB port because this isn't a infoLithium one either or am I wrong?

[@TylerCaseyProd]

It should work with those. All mine have worked with new lithium batteries

[@MichelVietz]

@@TylerCaseyProd that's weird, I've read a lot of forum posts where people have the same problem. I bought 2 infoLithium batterys now, hope they work. I'll get a TRV130e in the next days too, I can check if this one accepts the other batterys too
