Wow. Why don't you suggest he converts it to BetaMax while he's at it?
Better suggestion, hook the VCR directly to a video capture card on a
computer or a DVD recorder...Not all camcorders are "digital" you know.


That's ridiculous. The VCR out is analog. If you've ever had your
computer convert analog video to digital you know how long the process
takes. And how many people have an analog video capture card in their
PC? With a digital camcorder you'll need a firewire card, commonly
known as an IEEE 1394. Lots of computers have those as they serve other
purposes. The digital camcorder, and they're all digital nowadays, does
the converting on the fly.
