[QUOTE="HB13DISH, post: 538675, member: 262829"] Considering the low quality of VCR compared to DVD, I am not sure if I would personally bother to convert VHS cassettes to any other format, but you probably have your reasons. When you say Digitize, which STANDARD formats are you after? With a good DVR (I use Pioneer), you can convert a VHS cassette directly to a DVD using the A/V SCART or RCA cable (Composite video) and then take the DVD, insert it in your PC DVD Drive, use Nero Application to extract, edit and save the VODs to other formats like *.mpg With a Dreambox (Linux receiver with Ethernet interface), you can then upload the files to the internal HDD and probably use it as a linux server. Many members use a Dreambox to open Sky channels and record directly to it's internal HDD, with the possibility to extract the *.ts files to a PC. So perhaps you can use this method also instead of using a Sky Box. [/QUOTE]
