my DVD burner has an input for direct connect from a Sony DVR, but I own a Hi8 recorder. Can I borrow a DVR and play the old Hi8's and regular 8mm cartridges that I have shot over the years? In short, I want to put my Hi8's and regular 8mm recordings on DVD, and would like to go direct and not have to record to a VHS and then go to the DVD. Thanks for any ideas or help.
