It is my understanding that the camera won't playback those formats, timecode or not. There are VCR type units for the HI8 and other formats. They should be cheap on eBay now...

The Canon L2s as well as the L1 and A1 had bad capacitors installed so you see tons on ebay listed not working. Its not worth the trouble getting these repaired unfortunately. Remember this camcorder is from the early 1990's. And ignore the other person, Canon will not fix something that is out of warranty for free.

Video transfer is very memory and CPU intensive, you should check to make sure you have at least 2 Gb of RAM. Other culprits could be an older, slow CPU, or onboard or insufficient video card.
If you haven't already, you should test the output of your video by playing it on your pc, or making a test DVD and playing in a DVD player. If the video looks good, then the jerky playback on the pc doesn't really matter. If the video's bad, you should check the above possible reasons, also make sure your video drivers are updated, and that you have the most recent driver for the Pinnacle Dazzle.

You can connect the Camcorder to the Computer using A/V interface to transfer the recordings to Computer.
Once you transfer the recordings from tape to computer, you can use any burning software to burn the recordings to DVDs.
In order to capture the analog videos, you can use the Windows Movie Maker available in the Computer.

I'm no expert but I found a butting the broken bits together and using a small bit of sellotape was good enough to recover the tape. hope this helps

I believe all Sony model DCR-TRV2XX and 3XX would play Hi 8 and ST8
Such as DCR-TRV265, DCR-TRV285 DCR-TRV340, DCR-TRV355
I hope that give you some ideas

Fidus, I am not sure where you are located but the camcorder you're trying to use now is a PAL version of Sony's 8mm camcorder. If the tapes you recorded earlier were recorded in D8 (digital 8) or 8mm/Hi8 format NTSC, they will not play correctly in this unit. The NTSC and PAL formats are different and not compatible. Hope this helps you. Joe Weibel customelectronics.org
