[vcf-midatlantic] semi OT: video digitizing & archive

[Jeffrey Jonas]

I need advice how to best digitize video,
mostly standard def TV/NTSC of VCF events.

I have several USB dongles that take composite and S-video.
They may be adequate, but I don't know what one's really best.

I also have several DVR (digital VCR): Tivo, Sonic Blue replay-tv.
Did those have good front-ends or was most of the attention to the
subscription service?
I know they need to be "jail broken" to work like VCRs.
There's no big red "just record NOW!" button :-(

thanks
