Boy, I wish I could help you out with an answer, because I too have that same question. Hopefully, someone can answer this question! In the meantime, I want to welcome you to The Village!

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you either. But, welcome to the Village...

Possibly someone in the Premiere Elements thread can help with your video editing question. Maybe try posting it there?

I am converting VHS tapes and analog 8mm camcorder tapes through ADS Pyro A/V Link with IEEE (firewire) cable and card. Premiere Elements can capture the video. A search of the internet has masses of information on how to do this. You also can find information you need to know at muvipix.com.

Some people have a digital camcorder that has passthrough capabilities (using USB cable??). I use the same setup as above for my son's digital camcorder.

I really don't know how to answer your question, but I can certainly give you a warm welcome!
