Hmmm... That's a good point :-) I don't have a DVD recorder, I'm afraid. I also only have a laptop (well, two), which makes setting up a video capture card a bit more challenging. Still working on that one... I hope to put our card into another box so that we can convert VHS to VCD and dump the tapes taking up lots of space.

I tend to forget that when there are three in my Dad's house and another couple in his ex-wife's as well as the one (plus the Betacam) that we have :-) :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) davidtg at justpickone.org * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) davidtgwork at justpickone.org http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
