Re: need computer help

Heck- that's worth a shot!  I'll try it!   I really didn't mind doing

occupied who making the digital copies of the tapes (you know all the 
starting, stopping, labeling the files, rewinding, etc).  But, your way 
sounds much faster.  Did you use any particular background (e.g. black 
fabric) for those parts that didn't perfectly fit the frame of the 
digital camera?
