Its all pretty much the same cup of tea until you shell out for 3-chip
cameras

avi is a catch-all extention that many different formats use. If the
filesize is roughly 3.61 mb per second (the size of dv format) then its
probably dv and it would be the best you can get.

Help clarify: "hi8 dv" doesn't exist. Do you mean "digital 8" by any chance?
Does the 8mm camera have firewire?

Ah -

In that case, there will not be much difference, and any difference there is
can probably be attributed to the camera.

Someone else mentioned you'll notice a big difference going to a 3-chip
camera. That IS the biggest difference, and I'm not aware of any D8 3-chips
(there may be some, I just don't know about them)
