Dec 2009 at 11:17 I have a VCR still, not that its connected up to anything. Only reason i kept it is for my BTCC vids. I have 1988 throught to 2000 on video. I may get round to ripping them to a dvd one day. Seems like effort though

We've still got one connected up. The hard disc recorder will only record one channel at a time, so if there's two things on I want to record, I use the VCR. Anyway, I've still got about 40 tapes the wife wanted converted, which I haven't got round to doing yet - absolute pain - has to be done in real-time, and don't have any proper way of timing it, so I can't let it run overnight. Well, I can actually, but then I've got to edit the recording. Pain. Sad

Yeah I've got a VHS for occasional use. Thing is older laptops are very cheap, so I got an Acer Athlon 64 laptop which I have dedicated to digitising videos, and fitted with a PCMCIA capture card.

I just revamped my recording machine with a new motherboard, masses of ram, a AMD 64X2 processor and 3 Nebula DVB-T cards so I can record up to 3 complete multiplexes at once. Trouble is finding anything worthwhile recording Tongue

Dec 2009 at 00:47 Nearly forgot, the problems with being able to record several programs at once is you never get time to watch them all. I have got several 500GB drives full of films still to be watched. Ken
