Is it a Digital 8 or a standard Hi8?Quote:

Or Video Studio (not the best out there but fairly easy to use and the SE version usually comes bundled with capture or video cards). Video Studio crashes a lot (had the same experience with last 3 versions on several different machines, but when it works it's good for basic capture and editing.
There's plenty more choices that can go updwards to the thousands (some of which come with editing hardware, not just software), but that's beyond the scope of your question. :)
