I have concluded it can be monetarily dangerous to clean my family room/library.

There are bookcases there, and one of them is crammed full of Doctor Who tapes. This meant remembering our "Terror of the Zygons" tape didn't work and needed replacing which led to remembering that we were still missing some of Five's episodes which led to hauling all of Fivey's out to put in order and see what's missing which led to spending money frivolously online.

Ended up finding a replacement 'Zygons' (yes, I do realize that's Four, not Five. They DO look a bit different from one another), plus 'The King's Demons' and the dual tape set, 'Awakening' and 'Frontios'. Only two more and we'll have all of Fivey! (Only 'Four to Doomsday' and 'Planet of Fire' left in limbo). In the meantime, I also broke down and got season 1 of All Creatures Great and Small with my Christmas money as well - I predict a Davison-o-rama in the upcoming months. ^_^

We've had a Canon video camera for a little bit that we've never really used because we didn't have anything with the 'firewire' capability to get the blamed stuff off of the camera to someplace useful where we could play with it, like on a computer. Now we finally do - This means I need to learn how to use it after all - my dream eventually is to somehow, some way find out how I can record footage from old vhs tapes to play with.

Any of you have something like this? Any advice on what software to use for conversion, or for editing any resulting usable footage? Is it horribly complicated and full of pot-holes or understandable by a slow-learner (like me)?
