Our ol' HF300 gave up the ghost years ago and we just picked up an HF400 Superbeta on ebay, so I want to transfer all our recorded tapes to hard drive/DVD. Our son has been dying to see all those old Dr Who episodes we taped for our progeny, the couldn't play when he was interested. I don't really want to buy a stand-alone DVD recorder, I've been using our PC (to generate region-free DVDs of the new Dr Who and League of Gentlemen)
I'll need to get a video capture card and I assume some type of video editing software (no idea what's out there yet).
thanks for any help (I will be checking over at avsforum too).
