I got one and now I know exactly what to do because I didn’t know which type of cables are how I would transfer the recordings to my MacBook. Thank you so much.
You’re welcome. Please share and use the affiliate link 🙂
I'm just trying to get old family footage onto the computer haha. Thanks for the help.
no problem! hope it helped.
Old school dictum: DO NOT use batteries as your camcorder power source. Plug it in to external power (house hold current). This circumvents laziness on your part, and assures a constant-voltage power supply.
Edit: Good work, finally someone using FireWire and not RCA capture devices.
he is using a fire wire cable??
When I’ve tried this I couldn’t see video I would only be able to hear audio how do I fix this?
Hey! My camera only has the AV output. What cables would I need then? Would you know?
Hey did you ever find out how to do this?
Hey great video! I have all the same cables with a Sony DCR TRV320 but my computer is not detecting it. Do you know if there's a specific driver I should install or anything?
Thank you! do you mean the firewire cable + thunderbolt adapters?

I would suggest the same setup. I think the firewire adapter has a specific chip that makes it readable.
are you using quicktime?
you must set the camera 'USB mode' to 'mass storage' under settings (one of the last pages usually). Otherwise it will show no files.

@@decay16 What do you mean by this? I don't see "mass storage" option on my Sony Handycam, could you explain more? Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it!!!
why use a usb cable it has firewire out, not sure which camera you are using looks like a trv285e but maybe it's not, as the 285 doesnt play 8mm or Hi-8
where can i buy a Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter they are sold out everywhere
found this one for you (affiliate link): amzn.to/3TOqEOo
@@isaacmijangos ty for the effort
@@BaccaratBeejay no problem. Using the links supports the channel !
I have the exact same dongles and cables as you and same ports on my sony camcorder but QuickTime and iMovie isn't picking up my camcorder at all
are you in the right mode play/edit?
@@isaacmijangos yes. camera says DV in when I don't even have cables plugged. Isn't it only supposed to say Dv in when you have it plugged in?
Did you figure it out? I am facing the same problem. Any help is appreciated!!!
Unfortunately, your title "Transferring Sony Hi8 camcorder footage to computer." implies that this video will help with transferring analog Hi8 movies to a computer, but that camcorder you are using, the Sony DCR-TRV280 is a Digital8 Handycam, so it cannot play "Hi8" movies that were recorded on original analog Hi8 camcorders, only digital recordings that were captured on a Hi8 tape using Digital 8 format.
i need usb drivers for play tape for windows 7 64 bit...plssss help
Hi.I have Lenovo computer it is android system do they have a adapter like yours please let me know
Shout out San Jose. I recognized communications Hill immediately🔥
ayeeeeeee lets goooooo
Hello, nice video, I have a question. My handycam has mini dv but it when I playback it appears blue screen. But tap keeps playing, can I still capture video from my macbook ?
i have the same problem
Where can I get replacement batteries?
in the description
I have the sony handycam ccd-trv318 hi8, will this work on that camera? Also I have a MacBook Pro m1, can I use this Mac as well? Thank you in advance!
I believe as long as it has the same port, it’ll work the same make sure to use QuickTime player.
@@isaacmijangos Yeah you have a Digital8 one so those and the Mini DV ones usually come with firewire but the Video 8 and Hi8 ones don't usually. You can get certain Digital 8 models which are reverse compatible with video 8 and hi8 playback, so it's a handy way to digitise and get best quality over firewire, using it as a cassette player
Does this system work for a laptop with Windows 11?
Same problem
Hey Man! I just got a sony handycam and i have a bunch of cables but cant seem to get it to work in quicktime like you have in the video. I dont have any option to select a video source it just gives me an option for all my audio drivers etc. I have the star tech cable video capture as well but I havent tried that on my PC yet as i would like to have an option on my mac
hmm, i think the StarTech cable only captures audio. i would just recommend the setup i have tbh.
@@isaacmijangos so I believe I have the same cable as you as well but it came with a fire to USB. Howcome Thatt doesn’t work? Howcome it has to be from fire to thunderbolt or usb-c? I’m running off a Mac mini as well.
maybe firewire can receive the right signals? firewire and this camera were probably around at the same time.
Thanks so much for this video. My camcorder has a S Video Out and my A/V OUT is one small round plug-in. I'm not sure what to buy to transfer to my computer. My camera is Sony Handycam Vision Hi8 CCD-TRV308
Let me do a little research and get back to you
@@isaacmijangos Thanks so much I figured out how to do it. I used that ClearClick but that wiring you mentioned did the trick plugged the yellow and white only into it as it was giving some weird noise and then the s-video wire.
oh nice! thanks for watching :)
@@melissaadamo9068do you think you could help me out I think my Sony handycam is slightly different
@@melissaadamo9068 Could you please share the connections you used that work? I have the same settings on my camcorder - with a 2.5mm a/v socket. Do you connect from that socket to the white (sound) and yellow (component) cables, ignoring the red (other sound) connection? I am really struggling to get sound from my videos - I can get the video through the s-video output, but just no sound. I have tried tapping out of the headphones output of the camcorder but no luck.
you're awesome. thx for this video.
no problem! my latest video has a bunch of tips and tricks to use the camera and get the best results!
That's one pricey Thunderbolt Adapter. Is there a generic version? I can't stand giving Apple anymore of my money.
I’m not sure if there’s a generic one. Try eBay.
hey man, i got a sony dcr-trv 510 and a 520, with doing step for step what you are doing with a similair set up (i only need the DV out from the cam to a apple firewire to tunderbolt adaptar) with a macbook pro I7 intel core on the mojave 10.?? trough the quickfire video recording option.
now every random allotted amount of time that passes by 5-20 ish minutes, as my camcorder keeps playing back my quickfire just stops the recording with an error message along the lines of "could not fullfill action recording stopped". did this also happen to you and if so how did u fix this?
i would proably just records in little chucks?
Hi! Good night, i bought a sony handycam dcr dvd 105, and my pc doesn’t shows the files and don’t conect w the camera, i tried a lot to find something… Pls help me😭 Also i tried w windows and my macbook and it doesnt work.
did you use quicktime?
hi, did the Apple Thunderbolt To Firewire Adapter discontinue or is it named differently. I'm having a hard time seeing them. looks like only eBay for the high.
any idea?
i think it might be this one (affiliate link): amzn.to/3vwqb9S
Hi, could you tell me what kind of tape you are using when transferring the video? There are both Hi-8 tape and digital 8 tape! I have the Hi-8 tape and your method is not working for me. I am assuming your method only works with cameras with digital 8 tape. If you could check it really quickly and reply back to me that would be AWESOME! Thank you so much!
hi, i use this one Fujifilm P6-120 8MM (affiliate link): amzn.to/3xiANtY . Please note there are cheaper prices in the "other" section of the amazon page.
@@isaacmijangos Thank you for responding to me! You have the same Hi-8 tape as the tape that I use. I think this video exporting method only works for some Sony Handycams. Thanks again for the great video!
Hi, are new Hi8 cassettes still being produced or is there only remaining stock to buy?
its right here: amzn.to/3Sn0qCa (affiliate link)
Hi for the Apple dongles I only see one link for both, are there two separate ones or do we only need one? And if so then does the black cord still apply or would it be a different one?
you will need both. thunderbolt to usb, usb a to usb c, and the black firewire cable
@@isaacmijangos thank you for the reply! Do you have updated links by any chance? One of the links seems to not be working
@@kalt6042 here are the links (affiliate) it looks like only one of the cables is out of stock. maybe best buy, b and h, or ebay might have them. hope it helps :

i have everything that you have directly from your links, it worked for me once and now whenever i try it my camera doesn’t show up in the source menu on quicktime
you must set the camera 'USB mode' to 'mass storage' under settings (one of the last pages usually). Otherwise it will show no files.
Ok... so where is "USB mode" on the HandyCam?
@@Rivergull I was wondering the same thing. My camera doesn't seem to have the 'USB mode' to 'mass storage' under settings. Did you figure out the issue?
@@yingtianfu No I haven’t figured it out and both of my old HandyCams have other issues. I might have to buy a used one on eBay and then try to figure this out.
I have firewire to usb-a cable, and i try to connect it directly to my macbook but nothing appear. Is it a must to use all the adapters in your video?
from my experience, and all the cables I used (took several weeks), the cables I used were the ones that worked for me.
Aye bro what cable do I use to for trv98 hi8 handycam? What all do I need to transfer it to my Mac?
its all linked in the description.
@@isaacmijangosour plug ins are different that’s why I asked
does this work on windows
Can this work on a sony hi8 ccd trv 138 ?
it might if it has the same output as i shown in the video.
Thumbnail says vhs but it’s digital8, not even analog and far from vhs. If you want the VHS aesthetic, you will need at the very least an analog hi8 camera or a true vhs camcorder
Could a VHS Player/Recorder work, in place of a VHS camcorder?
My audio clicks and glitches alot, anyway to fix this?
Make sure you aren't too close to your Wi-Fi. It can cause interference with older equipment. I had that problem.
Hi, I have the same camera. However, I plug everything correctly into my M1 Pro Macbook Pro and the camera do not show up in QuickTime player. Is there another way to solve this issue? Any help is appreciated! Love the video by the way!
Me too 😢
Figure it out?
@@martinezpix No, not yet.
So I can record from QuickTime???
Yes
What OS do you have on you're mac?
To get it to recognize
i had ventura on, but it worked on all the big sur for me a few years ago too.

What camcorder model was this???
Sony handycam hi8 : made a video about it. Sony Handycam Hi8 (8mm Tape) - How expensive is HI8 film ?| Review | April 2021
ruclips.net/video/iX9hlVj_YZ0/видео.html
@@isaacmijangos Hi, others already pointed this out to you before it seems but it's not actually a Hi8 camcorder, but a Digital8 one which is slightly different. It does however record onto Hi8 tapes if you like but you only get say 60 mins out of a 90min hi8 tape, or 40 mins out of a 60 min hi8 tape or something like that ratio. It's in the sony manual
hi did this record audio?
yes it did
I think this/ I want a camcorder from 2003.
they're defiantly fun!
A new device called irecord you don't need a computer.
thank you
you're welcome!
I cannot get my father's old hi8 camcorder to play tapes; therefore, nothing to convert from.. Urgh!! So many old family movies I can't watch
make sure the tapes arent locked its a red marker at the bottom of the tape.
Hello. The tapes are not locked. Just a broken hi8 camcorder.
Lay off the ganja bro
