Re: Anyone imported Video8 (analogue) into PC
My DV Cam uses about a Gig per 4 minutes (I think, will check tonight), thus 25Gb for 90mins. Certainly the 100Gb I have allocated to my Video drive is adequate for editing two tapes at a time and having 2 DVDs of MP2 awaiting burning.

Ms Movie Maker II and TMPGenc will work nicely as a pair to create the DVD files, you can scan through each tape to find the stuff you really don't want and also find index points, or just mark the DVD at 5 min intervals.

I then use TMPG disc creator or Nero to burn using the Sony DMU10 (or something like that) from ebuyer.

Panasonic have just bought out a standalone machine to do this in the US. Pretty cheap, you might want to wait for that.
