I bought this camera here in the UK in 2000. I have a "DV in enabler" which allows recording of digital video through the FireWire port (DV in is disabled by default). The camera is also useful for converting analogue video to digital. A great little camcorder!

The 110 didn't have av/DV pass through. The next model did. You could however take an analog signal and record it to the tape and then play it back and it would digitize it. That's what I did. I used mine as an external recorder for my evw300

The drum looks worn as well, the heads are scrap. Your finger nail trick normally works a treat. I used the porus cardboard, it saved loads of heads that would not clean with a cleaning tape.

And people still want to record stuff on tape.

@@zx8401ztv from consumer gear you couldn't. Plugging my evw 300 into the digital 8 blew away cameras like the vx1000 and canon gl2. It was indistinguishable from myvjvc gydv500 or any dvcam rig. Remember these all used 4:1:1 color space. Very clean picture free from all the crap color noise of analog.

I’ve watched a few of you videos on the Sony handycam hi8 and I’m just wondering if you would know how to fix the eject feature. Everytime I press eject on the thing it just clicks and doesn’t open and you’re the only person who seems to have info on this type of camera

I've got a loud drum on a TRV120, can the drums be service or oiled at all? I assume it is bearings rather than rubbing that is going on? The machine plays tapes ok though.

Is it weird when the heads get clogged on my Hi8 VCR if i just unplug it for a couple of hours it starts working again? Or is something else probably wrong with it? Like a bad cap or something?

Oh no, it was the analog inputs on the DVD recorder. Chasing the unicorn again.

I have an old Camcorder, Sony DCR-TRV820 The camcorder still works, and does record. The only issue i am having is when i am viewing the recorded tape on the LCD screen, the image is split in half Vertically. But if i am looking through the Viewfinder it is a full image! Also when i am downloading the tape as a WMV it is perfect, no split image.
@12voltvids Жыл бұрын
So your LCD screen is fubar. You can still get your video off the tape and that's all that matters. You would need a new LCD screen. Good luck finding one. It's either the LCD or the timing board that the display plugs into.
