Capturing video from a Sony Digital 8 Camera

[Wild Man]

I am trying to capture video from my Sony Digital 8 Camcorder in order to burn it to a DVD.

I can obviously do it analog with my capture card, but I would prefer digitial because I am assuming the quality would be better. I have tried using the USB cable and software that came with it, but even on the highest settings, the quality is not very good. It is very digitixed, and motion is terrible. My camear is a few years old (DCR-TRV140) and the software was mostly design to acapture and attach lower qaulity clips to emails.

Its there any other option for getting high quality digital video off of the camera? Other software? using the DV out port?

Thanks for any advice.

Hello,

It seems obvious that the source, strong link of the capture doesn't allow the software to capture with efficiency.
I think that your video camera doesn't deliver the true DV.
Nevertheless these two guides can allow you to achieve a analogical capture of quality:
