I had looked at doing this but ended up using a cheap DVD recorder to<br>dump the tape to DVD. Then I can play with the encoding and the likes<br>later although I'll confess to using Handbrake on a Mac to do the actual

It takes a long time. The playback and capture is all in real time. So a 2 hour video takes 2 hours to capture. If you want to do any editing, then you have the editing time plus the re-encoding time.
