Technical question

Alright, i will admit, i haven't researched anything about this yet on the internet, but i just want to find out if it is possible. I'm looking to do an in-memory compilation video but the problem is is that the tapes that i have are from an old school camcorder that takes the smaller tapes.

Is there any way that I can get those onto a computer by either hooking it up to my pc or transferring it onto a VHS and taking it some where to have it transferred onto a cd?

But the one thing to keep in mind is that this camcorder is really old, like 10 years old type of thing, maybe older. Any help would be appreciated.

i would just hit record on the VCR and hold the camcorder close to the TV and press play on the cam ... that usually does the trick ..

That's how I did when I did A/V in like grade 10 with Hi8 tapes.
