I realized after my last post, (which got no response) that i was not giving equal opportunity to embarrassment. I have lots of X-mas video from Grandmas house. Now i know that i probably only have a few readers right now and maybe this is just a plug for those of you who know some one on this vid to send them a link and say “Hey saw you on the web, check it out!” Of course if any one request that i take this down it will be done immediately. I don’t intend to offend, or irritate any one. At present i am not sure what I intend to do with all of these video’s but i knew that they had to be preserved. I currently have almost 375 gigs of family digitized video, which amount to roughly 35+ hours of running time and i am still not finished. Most of it is my immediate family but there is some of Extended family and friends.




Oh and by the way, as i am unemployed right now, for a small fee i could be talked in to converting your old videos to DVD or put together a compilation with music and pictures. Just thought i would throw that out there, the small fee is because it does take a fair amount of time and i am not new to the whole editing process and procedure and of course because i need money.

I have been very busy while being unemployed. I have started to digitize all our old family movies. while this might seem a simple task, as i thought it would be at first, i have come to discover that when you have 20+ tapes with 5+ hours of footage on each, it is a lot to wade through.(pss: don’t ever use EP mode when recording.) I would say that i am close to half way done and have digitized 250 gigs of home movies. (that is a lot for those of you who don’t know.) these all come from VHS tapes so they all have to be done manually, which means i have to watch all the segment and then capture it in real time to the computer. Unlike the digital tapes and recording devices we have now where you can tell the computer to capture every thing from this point to that point and it will do it automatically. It has been a slow, but fun process.

Here is a small (and possibly embarrassing) sample:
