Digital-video capture experimenting

Opened the DVD maker out of the box today. Had a play and tried to capture some footage from a video tape, dvd and a hi-8 tape. It worked! Still playing with the audio though as it seems to come through a bit crackly sounding from the video tape. Played with some settings and tried some different software and then it seemed a bit better. Tried to capture it to a new external hard-drive. But the hard-drive died after 20 minutes of operation. Will have to see about getting it looked at or replaced.

Tidied up a bit. Didn't venture too far out today. Figured not much would be open as it's Good Friday today. Got some fish and chips takeaway tonight for dinner. Good stodge food!
