Video History

Converting old Digital Audio Tapes (DAT) into files that can be viewed from the network is turning out to be another time taking exercise.  I must have at least 50 tapes that have been copied to files each around 60 minutes long.  Taking each one of those and identifying where clips start and finish to build up an index file of contents then to split those into components and edit them can take up to 4 hrs per tape.  I have done about 6 files so far.  These cover from the 2000 Olympics where I first used this camera to around 2009.  Before that it was Compact 45s. They will have to wait.
