My solution to archiving large amounts of Hi8 and VHS was to buy a
DVD recorder. It's a a quick and easy real time way to digitize.
But if you want to edit them on the computer you need to rip and
convert the DVDs to an editable format. Cinematize is the program
that I use. My system is great if you don't need to edit a lot of
what you archive.

I have a dual VCR & DVD player/recorder that is capable of
transferring old VHS tapes to DVD, so I will have to check it to see
if it can also accept an external Composite video source and stereo
audio inputs for recording to DVD and not just the internal feed from
the VHS tapes.
Thanks for your ideas.
