Question: I am planning on playing back some 8MM tapes recorded in 1990on Sony camcorder, not sure what mode I recorded them in. What modeshould I use to play back the tapes on a Sony DCR-TRV730 Digital 8 Video HandycamCamcorders to get the best quality for editing on my PC with MS Movie Maker?
...........manufacturer note>> "Note on Recording mode Your camcorder records and plays back in the SP (standard play) mode and in the LP (long play) mode. Select SP or LP in the menu settings (p. 78). In the LP mode, you can record 1.5 times as long as in the SP mode". "When you record a tape in the LP mode on your camcorder, we recommend that you play back the tape on your camcorder".
In 1990s Sony camcorder records movie in analog format so playing in digital camcorder like DCR-TRV730 doesn't mean it will be converted in digital format and you can not import file in PC for editing purpose. You will get analog signal while playing back old cassettes.
Regarding SP, LP speed, its decided at time of recording. Camera sens SP or LP automatically in playback and set itself accordingly.
If you want to convert old cassettes into digital format, connect our camcorder to DVD recorder and burn DVD which is digital format, copy DVD files in to PC and do desired editing.

I cannot believe it. Yesterday I could connected handycam to PC via firewire cable and through pop up I could select Adobe Premiere Pro and transfer video to PC. Today PC does not detect the handycam. After rebooting PC, switching handy-cam power switch to different positions still camcorder is not detected. Adobe Premiere Pro says on capture window: Capture Device Offline. In camcoder I can see "DV IN". I bought firewire cable yesterday. Did it fail just after a couple of hours of work? Possible. They manufacture such a **** these days. How to test the firewire? Or how to restore the connection? What am I missing? Your help is highly appreciated. Thank you very much.
