Oops. Sorry. I see you have answers to my reply embedded in my questions.
I captured my video by using the original camcorder that created the tape
and passed it through my Digital camcorder.
It takes 2 hours to copy the 2 hour tape to my hard drive. Where would the
conversion program come into play. How long would that take? By
extrapolation, you're saying about 1 1/2 hours minus the 5 minutes to burn?
Sorry about the additional questions but I'm definately not an expert in
this area. Sounds like you have it down. I am open to trying new software.
thx
