Trying to convert old camcorder footage (dv) to digital, where am i going wrong?

Trying to get old footage from a camcorder and I can’t seem to figure out where I am going wrong. I went the a/v port route, bought everything I was told to get and I still can’t seem to get it to work. No video or sound is being picked up, whether it is obs or just the camera app nothing seems to work.

Have I gone wrong somewhere? is there something missing? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Accidentally formatted Sony Handycam DVD with vacation footage on it—is it gone forever?

Hi everyone, I was trying to finalize a DVD in my Sony Handycam and accidentally hit format instead of finalize—is my footage gone forever or is there a way to recover it? None of my videos show anywhere in storage and I’m quite heartbroken. Thanks in advance for the help!

Sony Handycam 120x not working

My grandpa passed away last week and this camera was his and he’s in some of the tapes.
Is there anyway I could still use the camera to convert the video to my laptop? It turns on but it won’t close with the tape inside and it just kind of stops. Please let me know if I can do anything to fix this at home.

Help! Getting a Firewire to Work on 10th gen Win11?

I am digitizing some digital8 tapes with my pc and an adapter daisy-chain but my computer is only recognizing the T3 to T2 adapter. My pc has a thunderbolt 3 port, 10th gen processor. I'm wondering if I need a firewire PCle instead, although I have read others have problems with that as well.

Sony HVR-FX1 w/ Century 0VS-FE3X-HDS fisheye and MRC-1

Hi all, this is my new setup for filming action sports! a while ago i made a post about a Sony HVR-Z7 that i managed to get this fisheye to work with (albeit with some vig in the shot) which i bought with a busted tape deck

i already had the mrc-1 so i went and got that, fast forward to now i got this fx1 for £73 shipped with a busted deck, mrc-1 to the rescue again lol!

this is one of two models this lens was specifically designed for and with it being a good bit lighter than the Z7 i’m super stoked on it, plus i get the 3CCD goodness lol

sorry again for huge essays, last pic is a screen grab from some test footage x

Sony DSR-PD170 test footage

Today finally the FireWire cable arrived and could import the footage using my old MacBook Pro 2013.

this is the best handycam prove thy wrong

digital, nightshot, funnylittlelight, my personal favorite screen shell (i dont like the round ones), backward compatibility, firewire/usb streaming, its tinted blue, i know its not a mini dv camera and the vx1000 probably has it beat but i think when people think handycam they think video 8 and for functionality features looks quality and usefulness this is it. unfortunately its 425 on facebook marketplace

Sony Dcr trv900e pal how to get tapeless recording.

Im pretty lost to be honest, I see those easycap things and then comments saying they are crap, but im pretty stuck on what to do since my budget isnt huge and anything from amazon is expensive to ship and takes a month, so i want to be sure. Can someome give me a rundown on how I can record videos with this camera (not just suggesting i buy another camera) without getting myself scammed? I also have a raspberry pi4b if using that as a middle man makes any difference.

Please be kind, im.just trying to get my parents camera recording again.

Thank you in advance.

WinDV re-imagined

I am in the process of making an updated version of WinDv that also has integrated into it parts of DVRescue. Windows only for now.

It's coming along nicely, and will be for quite a few formats, all via FireWire.

So, shooting for:
DV (core and proven), DVCAM (proven), HDV, incl. 4-channnel audio (testing this week), DVCPRO25 (likely), possibly DVCPRO50, Digital8 (likely), Hi8/Video8 (to be determined; using compatible Digital8 cams that have built-in analog to digital conversion and firewire).

Has some great features, one particular is: 1 Click capture, which will capture the whole tape as a preservation master, analyzes it, then automatically creates separate clips from the recording/scene boundaries (that feature not for Hi8 or Video8).

Hopefullly will release on Github.

(I only have PAL camcorders here and tapes that were shot in PAL (AG-DVX-100, and DCR-PC120E) so will need a lot more testing, especially with NTSC footage)

Sony Handycam HDR-SR5

Came across this page about a week ago and been enjoying seeing all the classics camcorders from the 2000’s and 90’s. Due to that I’ve been itching to get my old Sony Handycam out and mess with it. I got it out and charged up and I forgot how good the video quality was for an almost 20yrs old camcorder. I have all the wires and the docking station. All in good condition. I recorded some videos and connected it to my PC to see if it’ll still work, and worked as should. I also have a wide angle lens and cold shoe adapter (not in picture). The only real complaint I have is the poor field of view with just the stock lens. The wide angle lens does help a little but I got it back when I didn’t really know what to look for.

Would anyone be interested in trading for these 2 corders?

One is hi 8 trv308 working and a digital 8 dcr-trv260 not working. The digital one has a damaged tape mechanism but otherwise is good. The hi-8 is fully working with great battery life. Both featuring nightshot. I want a digital 8 camcorder that is hopefully backwards compatible (trv250) but I also like the trv 900 and 950. Really I’m interested in anything even if you just wanna show me your cool camera

2000s camcorder that records on SD card recs?

I'm wanting to just make some videos as a hobby, so nothing professional grade. I'm going for a general 2000s look, I really like the look of MiniDV (like this guy Gakhed does on youtube (Samsung SCD71) but honestly i don't have the patience for that medium, I'd prefer something that can record to SD so I can easily edit it on my pc.

Budget: preferably under 200€ (used)

Use: Hobby films and easy transfer to PC

Editing software: Capcut and Windows movie maker

Any recs and also general advice appreciated
