A good machine for the older tapes
I needed a player as the first link in a rig to digitize my old Hi-8 analog video cassettes. I have this as a player, outputting to a Sony DCR-HC30 Digital 8 camera that has pass-through feature to a firewire cable that i connect to the Mac. Voila - my old movies are on the computer, quicktime files and safe from decomposing.
This does the trick well. The CCD-TRV-328 has a nice bright little video display, and it's S-video output jack maximizes the output resolution of the old tapes, which is better than the simple RCA-jack yellow video jack option on cheaper models. (But if you don't have an S-video INPUT on your digitizing camera, between this camera and your computer, you can still use the 328's RCA option. Be sure that you get the cable that does this. It ought to come with the camera, but be sure. It has a mini plug at one end to connect to the TRV-328, and the three RCA jacks plus the S-video jack on the other). The 328 would work fine as a camcorder, but i haven't done so; i'm only using it as a player. Its pretty sturdy, and big compared to current machines. My HC 30 is 1/3 the size.
