Setting of an old Sony Handycam Video 8

I have this old Sony Handycam Video 8 1990, I remember playing with as a kid. And I still remember worked up to a point where it just wouldn't read videos (for no reason) when I turn it on the black player a few trips and none of the playback buttons work (except eject) it charges thin strips and I even clicked on file and it worked (he was shooting and not errors) I plug into my TV (camera mode works it shows on the TV) but the player is not at all. Someone please help

Thank you

Hi iLeet,

From your description of the problem, it seems that the leader of band and record head seems to be the problem, the internal switches also seem to have malfunctioned. This unit would need to service; However, since it is a very old camcorder, we recommend you to buy a new camcorder with advanced features rather than fix it.

If my post answered your question, please mark it as "acceptable Solution".

  • Cannot transfer video from Sony handycam to WMM

    I have Windows XP SP3. 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, Intel Core2Duo processor. I have Sony Handycam DCR-HC54 with USB streaming. Until a few months back, I was able to transfer videos from Handycam to Windows Movie Maker and could change, to make the film. The last few months, I am unable to transfer the same. When I click on "Capture video from the device" WMM detects the device by clicking "Sony Digital Imaging Vedio 2' and 'next' theresfter... and after finally clicking on video menu setting the message poster"Class not registered"after trying again the message says"the video device is currently in use. " Close any other application that uses this device and try again "I guess this problem happens since I was insalled SP3. I tried to remove the SP3, but in vein. The final message shows ' specified fie not found. can't uninstall SP3' except this problem, the system works very well. What I'm doing. Plese Guide.

    I know that you don't have to get a firewire card, but it will be faster than the USB to transfer the video

  • importing video from an old sony dv camcorder

    Hi all

    I have a XPS8700 on 8.1 and you want to import video from my old digital Handycam from Sony DCR TRV12E.

    Camcorder has both a usb port and an I.Link port. I learned that the camera is not supported under 8.1 with respect to the usb.

    Can we say with certainty if I can use the iLink. My understanding is that the iLink is simply a Firewire 1394 port has so if I buy a PCI-E card (e.g. SYBA PEX30001) it will work for me?

    Any suggestions / ideas appreciated,.

    Thank you

    George.

    It needs drivers of Sony to be recognized. You must look for the Sony support site help or drivers updated. Here's what I found:

    www.sony.co.uk/.../DCR-TRV12E

    Try a diff for the import application. See suggestions from Sony.

    Is it because I have a Sony Handycam?

    He said that there is a lack of "codec". Where can I install the missing codec from?

    Very frustrating because I've used it before - maybe because I have SP3? But I don't want to uninstall SP3... :-(

    Help, please!

    Thank you!!

    Thanks for the info.

    MPEG files are problematic in all versions of Movie Maker.
    Best bet would be to convert the files to the. WMV format
    before you import into Movie Maker.

    There are many converters available on the net... some
    free... some detail.

    The following freeware converter is just one example:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Format Factory (freeware)
    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
    (the 'direct link' is faster)
    (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup280.zip<>
    (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
    ('all' boxes on the final screens)
    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

    First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
    Drag FFSetup280.exe out of the folder
    and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

    Next, after the download and installation of Format
    Factory... you can open the program and
    left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
    "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
    (this is where you find your files after they)
    are converted)

    Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

    Select "all to WMV" / OK...

    That should do it...

  • Old Sony TRV240 camcorder video transfer

    Greetings!  10 years ago, I was quite handy with first and abandoned the hobby when life got in the way.  I'm ready to jump in now it, but I'm still feeling like a complete newb.  I have a few questions that are very basic, no doubt please bare with me.

    I have an old Sony DCR-TRV240 Ditial camcorder that records on a digital tape.  I have a lot of old images on those tapes I want to transfer them to a PC.  I intend to buy the latest version of first to edit the images once it is discharged.  The problem is 10 years of memories erased the process of transfer of my head and I don't completely remember how I moved the video a computer in the past.  Will be first built off of the transfer case on these old devices, or I have to find a solution from Sony to get the video on the computer first?  I have several ports on this thing, but lost the cables, so I'll start looking for replacements.  He got what Sony calls I.Link port to transfer to a computer I thought I remembered as firewire, but I see no mention of firewire in the manual.  This port will work with first or is it an exclusive deal for Sony?  It also has s-video and analog video output, but I guess I lose quality with these right?

    Here is a picture of the ports.  Thanks for any help you guys can give me!
