VHS tapes into Pismo
Advice please - I want to save some VHS tape material onto my Pismo (and attached LaCie hard disk). What is the simplest way of doing this? I guess I need to hook my VHS recorder to the Pismo, but via which outputs/imputs? What software do I use? And what format do I end up with? I have a PCMCIA card with USB 2.0 sockets on but I'm not looking for speed. UK-based so that might affect hardware availability. Thanks for any help offered and Happy New Year to all readers of this.

Re: VHS tapes into Pismo
I think you need a video converter. Some digital video cameras will do this (if they have RCA in capability). Otherwise, you can order something like this: http://www.smalldog.com/product/12654008 I just went to Small Dog and typed in video converter.

Re: VHS tapes into Pismo
You need either a card called a CAPSURE for your pcmcia slot, or you need an analogue tgo firewire converter. I have a spare one of the former I could sell, while many manufacturers sell the latter worldwide...
