Thank God i copied them in the 90s because the originals look like crap now. I copied the vhs tapes to dvcam using an old sony DHR-1000. my first DV cam was a Sony DCR-VX1000 I got in 1996, still works great today, but now I use the HDV cameras but I still pull that old baby out sometimes. I had a couple of Sony Hi8s that i used for years too. they finely went bad, sent them to Sony and they said they where to old to repair. i pretty much do the same thing you do but i have a PC machine. I do a step that you dont, i save the raw AVI file to hard drives and blue ray data disks. Cyberlink works the best. its a little corky but once you get a system down it works ok. I just dont trust the hard drive only. DVD is ok but the file is compressed from its original form, i never liked the sound of that. I do all this work, time and money and most likey my kids will throw them out after i die, lol. I thought I was the only nut that wanted to save these old tapes.

Easy to delete them if you don't like it. If you like pictures you'll love video. I keep my clips short (2 minutes and under) and shoot lots of them. No editing required if I want to put it up on the web. Doing video is fun and cheap. Easy to delete them if you don’t like it. If you like pictures you’ll love video.
