  • Ready to dive into the world of camcorders? The Sony Hi8 camcorder might be a bit pricier, but trust me, it's worth every penny.

    Hey guys! I just posted a video explaining how to convert your VHS footage to digital. Check it out 🤘

    That's a Hi8 camcorder, not VHS.

      Unfortunately, Gen Z kids have adopted "VHS" as a generic name for any old video equipment, just as they're using the term "Y2K" to refer to anything from the mid-'90s to early 2010s.

    Hey, for the future put your audio into mono mode so it is balanced on the headset. I only hear audio on the right side.

    VHS and Hi8 is completely different. VHS is not a name like jeep seems to be for all offroadvehicles (which it also is not)
    .

    • @colejchase
      @colejchase  Před měsícem +1

      Totally get what you're saying. While Hi8 isn't VHS, most casette tape recording formats are generalized as "VHS" similar to how all off road vehicles are regarded as jeeps. While it isn't accurate, it is easier to group these together so that the topic can reach a wider audience. I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

    *Loved the video. What is the exact camera model? Also, regarding the audio, I could only hear on my right ear (your voice) and the background music on my left ear on my headphones.*

    • @colejchase
      @colejchase  Před 2 měsíci +1

      I should probably watch these videos with headphones to double check that.. Thanks for letting me know!

      Large NPF batteries. I have an NPF-970 in the camera, you can get great battery life with that.
