+1 ... keep us posted !

Your thread reminded me to convert a few things while my VCR is still alive. I still have about 20 unconverted tapes (family stuff and mostly artistic performances). I decided to do 1 tape every second day... Will see if I have the patience.  :)

The one I did today with the Diamond VC500 was converted properly, but... with a small sound/video sync problem. This won't be hard to fix with a video editing software (I'll either move the sound track slightly OR "compress" it a tad). But be warned : this is a common problem.

There are lots of analog to digital converters out there, in the form of USB/RCA connectors + converter.
I personally bought the Diamond VC500 One Touch Video Capture Device a while ago. It does an ok job. Enough for my needs. BUT, cheaper alternatives might do exactly the same job : http://www.google.com/search?q=vhs+to+dvd+converter+USB+RCA&hl=en&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=ZRPQTs-JFMfLtgey9tDpDw&ved=0CE0QrQQ&biw=1087&bih=716#q=vhs+to+dvd+converter+USB+RCA&hl=en&sa=X&tbs=p_ord:p&tbm=shop&prmd=imvns&ei=RhTQTvXbN8fLtgey9tDpDw&ved=0CAsQuw0oAQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=d98391f7096812b4&biw=1087&bih=716

And +1 for what Shades suggested.

Z: and Y: are mapped network shares containing thousands of indexed documents. There is no problem searching them with Windows Search. I'll have a look at resetting.

Yes, exactly, that's what I meant : you potentially have much much more files and folders to index. So there's obviously something wrong with the index settings (it currently says : 9473 items indexed).

Here's the post about resetting that option I was referring to earlier (: "Allow Indexing Service to Index this disk for fast file searching") it was in another thread, sorry about that : https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=27116.msg268552#msg268552
