I have lots of programmes on the hard drive of my DMR-EH60, both recorded from live TV or from old video tapes.

I want to back these up so they'll hopefully never be lost, and store them on my PC.

How do I do this? I would want these files to be in an easily watcheable format (.mpg?, .mov? etc) from my PC. I would also want these to be easily get-at-able from any future media centre setup I might arrange.

Any advice would be gratefully received.
