Old stuff -- the USB2 ports are ubiquitous and faster then 1394.

Not really, you'll never actually sustain the full USB2 speed. 1394 is
now 800Mbit/sec as well, although most video cameras will use
Firewire-400, since that's more than adequate for the job alrady.

I have a small external device that converts full-frame analog video
to firewire digital out. It simply connects to the firewire and I use
iMovie to capture it. POC.

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.

It takes however long the original video is. I've captured quite a few
videos off my satellite receiver using just the standard composite outputs
and stored the videos as MPG format files on my PC. I don't think the the
digital camcorder can do it any faster since the limiting time for my
method is the speed of the original video source.

I don't know how to digitize VHS video tape, but if anybody has the
setup to do it, I'll make it available to anybody that wants it.


The easiest way is to get a digital camcorder and plug that into your A/V
out on the VCR and record the tape as you play it. The camcorder does
all the work. After you've recorded it onto the camcorder you now have
it in digital form and can feed it into a computer or DVD recorder.


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.

He said "get" one, and I don't think they sell any analog camcorders
anymore.

Are you kidding? They make tons of them, every day.
