In Reply to: DVD ARCHIVE RECORDING - HOW TO??? posted by "Ron B" on August 1, 2008 at 20:59:12:

Here's a way to do it (not the best, but it will work). Just record the dish material, via its analog outputs, to the analog inputs of a camcorder with a Firewire or USB output and then transfer the recording to your Mac.

There are ways to do this which will yield a higher quality transfer, but the above will cost $0. There are interface devices (analog to USB or Firewire) which are easy to use in making such transfers. Pinnacle Systems, for example, has a few analog to USB devices.

I would also suggest that you use an external or secondary internal drive to store your content. Extra hard drives and additional internal hard drives are too inexpensive not to use them. You can easily pick up a 500GB external USB drive for <$80 these days.

Below is a link to Pinnacle's Video Transfer/Capture page:
