Answer
Try this.
ANALOG
*If you have an analog (VHS) camcorder

You need an analog converter, either internal card or external such as the dazzle. It's very easy to use and come with good software. You would hook your analog VHS camera or VCR to the analog converter, the dazzle and then hook the dazzle to your PC. The dazzle cost around 85.00 , but worth the money if you have a lot of VHS to tapes to convert. You can also purchase a http://www.amazon.com/EasyCAP-DC60-Creator-Capture-High-quality/dp/B002H3BSCM which is way cheaper but does not come with editing software. Fine if you already have editing software.
Anytime you convert analog to digital, you will lose quality, but loss of quality is better than losing all those old memories.
**Please Note There is no 8mm or Hi 8 to VHS Adapter that currently exists. This type of VHS Adapter only exists with VHS-C tape
They also make VHS to DVD recorders and they work fine for home movies that you don't want to edit. They do not work on copyrighted DVD's.

Can JVC camcorder videos be edited on Windows Movie Maker?

I'm thinking of buying the JVC Everio 8GB 45X Dynamic Zoom Camcorder, but I want to know if the videos can be edited on Windows Movie Maker without converting them?
Answer
JVC Everio flash memory camcorders record MOD (standard definition modified MPEG2) or TOD (high definition modified AVCHD/MTS) files - depending on the camcorder.
You did not provide the model number of the camcorder, but with that high optical zoom, I'll assume it is a standard def camcorder.
No version of MovieMaker can deal directly with MOD files. You need to transcode them to a video file type MovieMaker likes... like WMV. There are many tools you can download to do the transcoding. HandBrake and MPEG StreamClip are two I like.
If the camcorder does record high definition AVCHD/MTS files, the TOD files will also need conversion... and Windows 7 and the current version of MovieMaker will deal with the high definition format... earlier versions will not.
"Conversion" does not mean reduced video quality. If you do not compress the video, then the video quality - for editing - will remain good. If you compress the video when it is captured or if the conversion application you use when you make that conversion, then video quality will be reduced. That is why the camcorder option should always be set to highest quality - and not longest record time.
Yes, high quality video files take lots of computer hard drive space. Video compression discards video data... that is how the files are made smaller. Video compression should be used ONLY as the last step after capture, after conversion after editing... Save a high quality, low compression file, *then* render to a high compression, low or medium quality, file for uploading.
