then save on DVD? DVD is about the best stuff there is, and if you get good
quality stuff, your recordings will be as safe as they can be. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

future). If you already have the videotape, then it needs to be digitized.
There are several good programs, Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Pro will do
quite a serviceable job of converting (you can specify the density), and then
edit. It is not a biggie. . . it is time-consuming, but pretty simple once you
understand the concept. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;color:navy'>One of the things I think are still pretty ugly is that you
can’t easily integrate the little videos (assuming you did clips) into
any of the presentation formats like PowerPoint and Flash. They have to be
compressed into gif like densities, which ruins the whole point of the video. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

archivist? Well, mostly I mean someone acquainted with the process and best
practices of archiving video tape digitally. This is for a potential project,
nothing concrete yet, and for sure for some dialogue.<br>
