@renroy-b You can transfer the videos digitally via FireWire (but this usually works only with old computers which have such a connection) or via an USB S-Video/Cinch-Videograbber which converts the analog video signal to a digital signal.

Install the adapter on your computer, then start the program, select the video/audio inputs and recording quality, start the playback and record it.

To answer your question, there are various options, all of which are reasonably complicated. If you have only a few tapes, I would suggest you find a friend or company which will do the conversion for you.

Re the cellphone, the basic process involves getting the video onto your computer, converting it to and MP4 file type, then transferring to your phone.

The options are:

1. Firewire transfer. This is the ideal process as it merely transfers video as opposed to capture, which involves recoding your video. Your computer needs a Firewire card installed, or your camcorder may allow transfer over USB, or you could buy a converter box. I have a detailed analysis of the DV/Firewire options on my website here.

2. Analogue capture using a digitiser such as the "Rescue Your VideoTapes" dongle that you have (I assume). In this case, you'd connect your camcorder to the dongle, then capture into Videoeasy as per the manual. For the video signal, using an S-Video cable will yield better results than the yellow Composite cable.
