Video Tape to Digital

[Electronic M]

If you get a DVD RW recorder you can record the files to a single DVD RW and when it fills copy it's data to your hard disc, erase the DVD RW and reuse it.

Another option would be an older digital 8 camcorder with analog input/output and FireWire....many of those camcorders could record video off the 1/8" AV in/out connector, had good A to D converters and the digital recording could be transferred to a PC over the FireWire cable.

I have heard good things about the analog recording capability of my HDML cloner box, but I only have used mine for HDMI capture this far so I haven't seen it for myself...It's also super finnicky about which brand and model of USB thumb drive it will record onto without corrupting it a few times and eventually bricking the thumb drive.

Few things things produce a good digitization of all analog sources. Analog video has varying amounts of noise and detail. Too much detail and noisy sources look terrible, too little detail and low noise sources look blurry. Analog video rarely looks good on modern HD sets.
