If you're still interested in filming videos, have you considered trading up to a Digital-8 camcorder? I believe only Sony makes them, but they will playback Hi-8 tapes(!). Dig-8 tapes basically are Hi-8 tapes, IIRC - they just run at a higher speed. You could possibly use your current tapes as well (caveat - I'm not sure if there are tolerance issues concerning their use at this higher speed). You can likely find them for under U$500 (the DCR-TRV250 is available for appx $650Cdn up here). New video camera and converter all-in-one. -- Non Illegitimi Carborundum -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
