Hey all- I've got a fair number of vhs tapes taking up living space here and I'd really like to send them to the round file- after transferring the contents to a hard drive of course. Got some LD's I'd like to transfer as well. I intend to either build or buy an htpc at some point, but would like to lose the vhs sooner rather than later. My current desktop is an e-machines celeron 900 mhz,128 syncdram, and 2 nearly full drives. I'm thinking if i get a bigass seagate hd like the htpc crowd uses, I could transfer to that with my current machine and use it in the htpc when that time comes. The $64 question though is this enough machine to do this? Maybe with a vid card doing the heavy lifting? The extent of my pc experience is replacing hard drives, adding a card or 2, and programming in Atari basic
don't think the last one will help much.
So, has anyone done this? am I doomed with this machine?
Thanks for any wisdom you can share.
