Primarily I've been recording onto my DV camera and then firewire onto the
PC. Now that I have a fast machine I will be converting all my laserdiscs
and VHS tapes to DVD and will be hooking up a VCR to the PC. Not sure how
that will work yet. My camera also allows a pass thru : vhs-dv-pc without
having to record.
The drawback of using DV is that it saves as avi. So 1 hour is 12gb
of data. When I was editing last years home movies down to a 35m film I
had six tapes to store, then to encode and reencode as I tested and reedited
stuff, then the dvd folders which were 4gb alone Damn near 100gb just for
that project. So glad when I was finally able to delete that folder!
