What great fun and fond memories these clips bring forth. And new ones just keep on building up. Alhamdulillah!

Tanks, brudda! Well, I used a Lite-On DD-A100GX DVD recorder to capture the whole broadcast from the VCR directly onto a dvd. Then, on me trusty MacBook Pro, I used HandBrake to rip the dvd, and I converted the resulting file in VisualHub to the DV format ("Ready for FinalCut"). From there, I imported the DV file into Final Cut Express where I pulled out the desired clips, edited them and added a title shot from Fireworks. I exported the final products via QuickTime Conversion => DV stream (default settings). The resulting files were way too big for YouTube (800+ Mb each), so I ran them through VisualHub to get the more cozy mp4 file sizes. I then pushed the mp4 clips up on YouTube.... and now a word from our sponsor ;->

That never finished— sorry… how did you end up capturing the tape? What did you use for hardware and capture software?
