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). LifeFlix is simple yet powerful Mac desktop software for importing all your old Video8, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, HDV and VHS tapes. 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. (I tried the same thing on a PC and the PC knew that something was connected, it just didnt know what). ![]() Im using a DV to USB cable but the Mac doesnt recognise that anything is connected. 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. Im trying to connect a Sony DCR-TRV80E to my mac mini. 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.
