Mar 22, 2016 8:22 AM in response to Alchromaby jennicaz,Will Quicktime capture in the same way (codec?) as Final Cut HD would? Do I need Quicktime Pro? I'd just rather use the newer computer than the older one and I don't have room to install Final Cut HD on there at the moment. Thanks.

D-8 footage will only be DV quality.
QTime X has a few quality options.

Apr 2, 2016 2:50 PM in response to jennicazby MartinR,Capture your DV footage in either FCE HD or FCP-X using the appropriate matching (DV) easy setup/sequence settings in the app. Also, as Alchroma said earlier, use a non-controlled easy setup because D8 cams cannot be controlled by Final Cut (you will have to capture manually).
Also, before capturing, make sure your easy setup expects the same audio rate that you recorded in your camera ... hopefully you filmed using 48KHz audio but many D8/miniDV cams had a default setting of 32KHz and users didn't know to change this before filming. (Just make sure the audio rate matches what your camera recorded regardless of whether they are 48KHz or 32KHz ... if they don't match, over longer clips the audio will drift out of sync.) This will yield QT files at resolution matching what was recorded on the tape and be editable in almost any video app.
DO NOT use iMovie or iPhoto to capture DV footage - depending on the version, they can do funky things with DV video.
