Hi8...hey I remember I even had a 8mm in one those Sony yellow housings. Have to get a Hi8 camera as I would get a laugh looking at my old tapes.
Steve, can you accept HDV NSTC tapes for the contest? I have worked out how to make them. The HDV PAL camera's will record a converted 50i to 60i m2t file.
We'd be happy to accept any tape that is NTSC, whether it is SD or HDV. The theater might have to down convert to SD, but we are working on being able to project true HDV and are optimistic that it will be avaliable.
