Thanks, but my need is automatic scene generation from a camcorder. Not format conversion.

That is, splitting a 1 or 2 hour tape into scenes corresponding to when the video recording went on and off.

I need to convert about (80) 8mm camcorder tapes using my Sony digital camcorder.

Since each tape holds an hour or two of video, and with that many tapes, I would like to find software that can automate the creation of scenes (sequences, clips, whatever you want to call it) automatically. Either when reading the video from the camcorder, or otherwise help me automate that.

Can VideoPad do that for me?

If so, explain a bit how it works.

Thanks!

John
