Hardware

This is the list of relevant hardware. The video and audio cards are at least as old and cheap as anything you’ll find, so you don’t need high-powered stuff there.

Computer:

  • AMD Athlon 1.2G processor

  • Plextor PX-708A DVD+-RW drive

  • StarTech Firewire controller card (VIA Technologies ohci1394)

  • Western digital WD2000JB 200GB IDE hard disk

Camcorder:

  • Sony DCR-TRV18 mini-DV

Introduction

This is a log of how I made DVDs of my home movies. Some were shot directly with my mini-DV camcorder and others were transfered from VHS tape.

Keep in mind this isn’t a scientific explanation of how to do this. This is how I did it, warts and all. I’m not an expert at this (yet). Your mileage may vary. And if you notice anything that I’ve got wrong, please email me at <dagdvd at emailias dot com> and I’ll fix it.
