. . because there seems to be competent help and reference to be found on this forum!
Picking this up on the way home today. Got a stack of VHS-C tapes to convert.
Ive got a year (or so) old laptop with 3 gigs of ram and plenty of HD space--I believe I meet all the requirements. I've noted all the stickies above. I will come prepared.
Hopefully my experience is smoother than others.
I was importing fine from Windows Movie Maker (off a sony MiniDV handy cam) last night, and I also used the Sony software and it worked OK too.
Is there something more "difficult" about this analog-to-digital capture process? Why is this such a "workhorse" application?
Also, I am not interested in burning DVDs. Only capturing. I plan on playing around with quality and other settings (because storage is at a premium--I just bought a 1.5 TB external drive but have no backup-plans yet--I don't want Mozy kick me out because I've tested the limits of their "unlimited backups."
Any advice on quality settings would be appreciated. These are strickly low quality home movies we're wanting to capture here.
