Well I have made an initial step towards getting the Philmont 2001 video out to those I promised it to a little over 4 years ago. Tonight I re-captured the entire first tape (2 hours, a 25GB DV file). I finally got to use one of the features on my new Camcorder that was a selling point when I bought it. I am able to connect the old analog camcorder to the new one and the new camcorder does a hardware analog to digital conversion which I can then just send to the computer for a direct capture using Premiere.
