[QUOTE="haggard, post: 138229, member: 183237"] It was taking me about a day per tape, not standing over it of course, but elapsed time till it was done. • I set the tape to capture so that is 1 minute per minute • It's easier to edit the dv file than the subsequent mpeg to top and tail, maybe cut ads (tho be careful about throwing away 20 year old ads, they can be collectors items). So thats another minute per minute to export, maybe 2 mins per minute if I decide to blank off the crap at top and bottom frame. • Then compress to mpeg. The fastest I have is bitice on a G5 which is 3 mins per min. So you see, that is 6 mins per minute of tape or 12 hours for 3 hrs. Now, I was in Hamburg this week and spotted a Dazzle in the local AV store (MediMax at back of EEZ on Osdorfer Landstr but they look like a chain). This converted input coming off VHS straight to mpeg. So switch it on and let it go in one step. You then have to edit mpeg if you want a neat result. They were about €140. which is cheaper than my original dazzle AV-> dv by a factor 2. [/QUOTE]
