HP DVD Movie Writer...

As stated in the title, I have a HP DVD Movie Writer dc5000. I also have some old Hi8 tapes and a Hi8 Camcorder that I want to use to convert video with. Will this product work with FCE HD? It only has a USB port so I don't think so...But if you
know of any drivers, please tell me!
Thanks in advance,
Craig

Unfortunately the device will not work with FCE. It's a PC-only device. If all you want to do is convert your Hi8 movies directly to DVD and you have a PC, it would do the job.

However if you want to import yoru Hi8 movies into FCE then you will need a firewire-based analog-digital converter such as a Canopus ADVC-110 or a miniDV camera that supports analog-digital passthrough.
