Grab video from HI8 camera
Posted: 29 Jan 2016 15:44
Hello everyone,
I bought an EasyCap USB in order to connect my hi8 camera (https://docs.sony.com/release/ccdtrv65.pdf) to my computer.
I want to digitalize the old hi8 tapes that I have.
I can read the tapes fine within the camera, but when I try to see them within VLC (version 2.2.1), I only get a black screen.
I see the device appearing on the "capture device" tab as "OEM Device", but when I select it, I get a black screen and nothing else.
I have tried 2 different RCA cables (one new), and also a S-Video cable.
I also tried on different computers and different OS (Windows/Debian) but nothing helps.
I also tried VLC version 2.0.0.
Here is the output that I get in the Messages window with verbosity 2:
Any help is welcome
Thank you!
