I am capturing VCR and Hi8 home video of the kids and it will end up being about 300 GB. The files are going onto an external hard drive since my C:/ drive is not large enough. I will then export to DVDs.
If the external hard drive ever crashes, can the DVDs be used to put the video files onto a new hard drive? Or should I have a 2nd back-up external hard drive?
I will keep the tapes, but making the assumption that the equipment to play the VCR and Hi8 tapes will soon be gone.
