Ken,
I just posted a USB solution for digitizing any video source. If there
is enough interest on this topic I will share but not publicly, I really
don't want to give away this information, there is money to be made
doing this. I've been digitizing for years now and I must say it's
become a lot easier. I edit with fancy scrolling text and music for an
extra fee. Let me know.

I decided to change the subject line to match the discussion.
Besides the business aspect, what about our own tapes? I have over 400
VHS tapes, taking up space and rotting from age. The problem I have is
that much of the discussion is over my head.
Perhaps someone can suggest some training articles for those of us who
know so little.
Have a good holiday, y'all.
