I am basically updating a video about our business; we had one done in
2000 by a guy who has since closed down and sold all his equipment, but
he gave us the raw footage tapes. I will be using Premiere to create an
approx 10 minute video combined with computer animation. This video
will be a bonus feature on a DVD of log homes we sell. I typically use
uncompressed avi source files, but uncompressed 30min x 30 fps x
27MB/sec = 24 GB per tape! 10 tapes MAY just fit on a 250GB hard
drive...

If the only way to do it is with an analog capture setup, I guess they
would use some codec anyway.
