I'm curious if my Atomos Ninja V can record SD interlaced directly to SSD. Noting TBC(s) still needed between VCR/camera and recorder.

That's an expensive tool for this sort of use, but it be possible? (I own it for my Nikon Z II for video.)

Still not SD, but SSD.

No time to test this hypothesis right now.

Still not entirely clear. “Capture” vs. “record”…. “Live” vs “previously recorded”….

I think you mean that you want to “record” “live” (new) video directly to an SD card using the Samsung camcorder. Is that correct?

From my understanding, this person wants to convert Hi8 tapes, using a Hi8 camcorders playing those tapes, into some sort of non-computer device that records to flash media (SD).

That's a non-standard method, and only a few low-end items will do it. (ClearClick, DIGITNOW, etc.)

There were also some Panasonic, Sony, and JVC camcorders which can record directly from an A/V input into DVD-spec MPEG2 files on a hard drive or SD card.

Sony was even weird enough to make camcorders with a built-in projector with a composite video input: the DCR-PJ5 and DCR-PJ6.

There's only one question here. Why? Why scratch your right ear with your left foot?

Interesting.

.. but I'd have to agree.

MPEG-2 on SD card sounds exhausting.
- The MPEG-2 stream is likely TS or DVD-Video/VOB, which can be hard/not-fun to work with.
- That SD card is probably very finicky, too, with brand/size requirements that are hard to meet in 2026.
