Hi all.
I have hundreds of videos of various events on various formats. VHS, SVHS, VHSC, SVHSC, Mini DV and large format DV. I would like to know what is the minimum spec for editing those formats on Laptop or Tower computers, which gives you the best return. I don't need to edit 4k, just the formats mentioned..Also, I use an old XP computer for digitising the tapes but it's getting a bit long in the tooth. Is there a more professional digitising way rather that use USB, which I recollect doesn't give you the best results..This is not a commercial venture and is only for my own tapes, although I will pay for a more professional way to digitise my tapes. Any help would be very much appreciated.
PS. - I was quoted £1200 for an editing system without software and digitising tapes. Friends say I can get my needs satisfiying with half that amount.
Thanks and all the best. Mike
