I'm at the bottom of the pecking order of knowhow , but I'm keen to learn . With a little help from you guys I might make it . I'm a bit long in the tooth now , but I made many videos up to 15 years ago , of the great people and lifestyle of my town . I would dearly love to save them to disc and traded in my old PC for a purpose built unit . The DVD burner is a Sony and the software that came with it was Sonic MyDVD . It's OK for convential transfers but does not allow for breakdowns in signal quality . Darwin in Northern Australia is tropical and humid , not the best environment for video tapes and my tapes are deteriorating a bit , ( like me ) This shows as jumpy sometimes and when the signal fades I get stoppages and windows saying things like , " the video bus was disconnected " , or " no video signal was received and the recording has stopped " . My limited understanding thinks I need a different software package that would maybe record through until you actually stopped it from recording . The tapes DO play through but some must temporarily lose the signal and MyDVD switches off . If you've read me this far and can help , I'd appreciate it .
This project is dear to me and if I need new software so be it , but I'm not a millionaire and need to operate reasonably . jabaarli
