Camcorder Recommendations and Questions for Capturing VHS
I've decided to purchase a camcorder with passthrough in the hopes of solving my audio sync problems in transferring VHS to DVD. Questions:
First, can anyone recommend camcorders that have worked for them? Again, I'm transferring VHS tapes, so the camcorder will be hooked to my VCR.
Second, the camcorder connection to my computer is firewire - but how do I actually create a file? Do I need some kind of capture software, like Movie Mill or something?
Third, I understand that the files created will be huge avi files - about 13G per hour. Can I save these directly to my external hard drive?
