Can anyone help me to convert a videotape to either some digital format or onto a DVD? I interviewed my grandmother some time back, and I'd like to ideally edit it a little and burn some copies to DVD to share with the family, preferably in the next few weeks. Thanks.

Hmm, K just did that with some old tapes from his childhood. We watched a 2-year-old him wandering across our computer screen!
He did it in a lab at MIT. Actually I think someone did it for him. I'll point him here and maybe he can give you more info than that.

late, but I have a Video-Oh! setup around here, and can also do it if your camera has an s-video output.

Did you ever find a way to make this happen? If not I might be able to help. However, it would involve playing the tapes thru my crappy VCR into my TiVo (after cabling them together) and burning a DVD from there. There wouldn't really be a good editing oppertunity, but if you have no other way to get it onto DVD, I think it should work.
