I cut my teeth on a similar rig. It was also a Sharp Hi8 with a rotating side. Editing videos on a Windows 98 machine was an absolute pain, but I still have those video files somehow.

This was the family camcorder when I was a teenager, I got a Snappy parallel port video capture device later and used it as a digital camera (pause playback on the camcorder, and acquire)
Anyone remember Kai's Power Goo?

I remember KPG! And I feel like I played with that much more than the snappy.

I remember when it was first released it was making the news; they were all sharing altered pics of themselves and having laughing fits. Plus the new morph tools were pretty sick at the time

I had a snappy capture! Wish I kept it

I remember the Snappy capture card from the good old days.

Nifty. I did some similar stuff with a Handycam and a Voodoo3 3500 TV capture card. I remember doing lots of stitched-together Quicktime VR 360 shots...
