Begin importing the video with the video capture software. 
Begin playing the video in the camcorder. 
Cue the video in the camcorder to the beginning of the video footage to be transferred. In addition, make sure the converter is set to convert an analog signal to DV. 
IMPORTANT: If the converter has more than one A/V input, make sure the input to which the camcorder is connected is selected on the converter.
Turn on the analog-to-digital converter. Turn on the camcorder to the VCR, VTR or PLAYBACK mode. You may have already started to see visible signs of degradation, such as poor tracking, loss of detail, bleeding colors or loss of audio clarity. The degradation process is slow but steady. Connect the other end of the FireWire cable to the FireWire serial bus connection on the computer. Video tape is nothing more than tiny magnetic particles adhered to plastic tape this is the media format that you need to be most concerned about converting into a digital format. Connect a FireWire cable to the output on the analog-to-digital converter. Connect the other end of the A/V cable to the A/V input jack on the analog-to-digital converter. Promising the picture quality and i.LINK transferability of the Mini DV format, combined with the general availability of 8mm and Hi8 tapes, Digital8 could be the digital video format of the consumer future. Use an A/V cable with a mini connection on one end if your camcorder has a mini A/V output jack. Perhaps the most exciting product announcement of 1999 so far, has been Sony’s new Digital8 format. Use standard A/V cables for the connection if your camcorder has standard A/V output jacks. Connect an Audio/Video (A/V) cable to the A/V output jack of the camcorder. IMPORTANT: Information about using iMovie software with an analog-to-digital converter is available on the Apple website at.
An analog-to-digital converter must be used to connect the camera to the FireWire serial bus connection on the computer. The computer must have a FireWire® serial bus (IEEE 1394) connection. The computer must have compatible video capture software installed, such as iMovie®. fingers crossed.The following items are necessary to transfer video to an Apple® Macintosh® computer from an 8mm or Hi8™ camcorder: Haven't tried even older Hi8 tapes yet but that's next. It's not sexy, and every now and then the software is a bit slow when you're trying to save your clips out to your computer, but it works just like everyone else says it does and i am as happy as a little piggy in poo getting all my old camera tapes from literally 20 years ago, digitised. Anyway, after sitting there crying for a while I came across someone who'd suggested this software and hell. (I THINK it was because more recent tapes were supported but earlier ones filmed on older cameras were not even though they all played just fine out of the camera). Tried going direct in to Adobe Premiere and was having all sorts of problems. I'm playing old DV and HDV tapes from a camera into my 2021 model mac via a Firewire > Thunderbolt 2 > Thunderbolt 3 daisy chain of adaptors and it's working just fine. Worth every cent! I have literally 100s of old tapes I wanted to go through and I'm on about tape 12 (yes, it will be a long term project) and this software has been absolutely epic. OK, so I can't yet comment on exactly how good the quality of the digitising is, but holy quacamole this software works a treat.
