Well, as already mentioned I have 70+ Hi8 tapes to convert to DV and backup, next edit some special happenings and extract some family memories for DVD authoring. For me I guess this will be a relative time consuming project. Next I will continue with my newer HDV tapes.. Beside digitizing, editing and archieving purposes, I think DN-300 also can be utilized nearly like a traditional hard disk recorder. It hasn't any built-in (HD)TV tuner, but it should be possible to connect for recording from S-video out on analog TVs. However, my soon coming Sony Bravia KDL-40X3500 HDTV doesn't feature S-video out (just S-video IN), but as it has a SCART out, a SCART/S-video adapter should make it. As for other DVD recorders connected to SCART out, I think this will be limited to recording from the analog TV tuner and resolution(?) --- Terje J.
