windyjerry MM, I googled "1394 cable" -never heard of it before

Looks like it connects camcorder to computer. Sorry that I didn't make
myself clear, but my tape is the old-fashioned VCR tape.

Do you think there is a way to convert it?

you should be to find it if you search key word with "IEEE 1394." IEEE stands for "Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers." So, what is IEEE 1394? It is a serial bus similar in principle to USB, but runs at speeds of up to 800 Mbit/s and is not centered around a PC (i.e. there may be none or multiple PCs on the same bus). It has a mode of transmission which guarantees bandwidth which makes it ideal for digital video cameras and similar devices.

Nowadays, the DV camcorder is cheap. It would be lot easier if you get a DV camcorder since it records clips on the disc, not on a tape.
