Question How to convert Sharp VL -A111 8mm tapes to digital.

[WinterHands]

I have tried a cheap 8mm to digital converter kit from Amazon, it was supposedly Mac compatible yet the software was not.

I was able to record some footage using it through OBS yet the audio was continuously clipping. I suspect that this may be due to the video camera only having one audio jack?

None the less, I would be grateful for some directions to hardware and software in order to complete my task, if anybody is able to help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi , I have a similar problem , my audio is not working , did u find a solution?

Hello, unfortunately not, as of yet. There has to be a way to solve this without the need to purchase a VHS machine and take the long winded approach.

Can you post a link of the converter you originally mentioned?

Something like this should do the trick.

Hello,

It was essentially like this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Digital-Converter-DIWUER-Upgraded-Captuer/dp/B087RMXVNK/ref=sr_1_12_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=video+camera+converter&qid=1631465746&sr=8-12-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFHODlYS1pFT1lMVk0mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA5NjM4MTYxTjAwUE5aMU45OUZLJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1NDA2MDUxSVNZNVZJMjhFMzVCJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfbXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Not unlike the one that I had.

I shall leave pictures of the camera and cables as I think it may highlight the story a bit better.

Cheers.
