I would like to ask a rather openended question re recording old vhs tapes to
harddrive.
I have some old vhs tapes, such as the early 80's release of Ray Bradburys
"Martian Chronicles" with Rock Hudson that has a playtime of about 310
minutes. Now I have both windows ME installed to do Graphical stuff that
Linux is poor at, but I thought that I would ask the question here.
#1 Can this be done on linux and if so what do I need, I have a Nvidia card
by Guillemot (Cougar) with tv in and out.
#2 Has anyone used Windows for this and what did you use?
#3 I understand there is a limittation in mpeg 1 that allows only 1 hrs
recording, does mpeg 2 fare any better?
I plan to re-record to cdrom either vcd or svcd.
