syredronningYesterday, we went late-shopping to our favorite mall with a "Media Markt" where you can buy all kind of electronic goodies and DVDs. After spending much thought on how to fix that old-video-tape-to-digital-file problem and already having had a combi machine with VHS tape and DVD burner in hand, we switched to another solution: VHS machine (cheap new one, because our old ones are really buggy) plus a digitizer unit to connect to the computer via USB. Plus hubby has bought a DVBT unit (with recording ability) so that we can have TV on the computer.
Phew. Now, we just have to get it all work :P DVBT is running now. The VHS solution will be tested later. I so hope to be able to save many of my old Hollywood movie recordings (because to buy them all on DVD would cost a fortune).
And of course, we also bought some DVDs: X-Men 2, Seven Samurai, Kagemusha, Batman Begins and the X-Files movie. It was as usual a rather expensive saturday-night-shopping round, but it was FUN :)
Other than that, working on my third vid and finding that with faster music, it's a heck of a lot to snip and adjust *feels more grey hair coming up* Just why did I start this damn hobby? *whine***
