Weird
There's just no predicting. Last night, I couldn't get more than ten minutes worth of video capture off the VCR if my life had depended upon doing so. The PC would lock up and I'd have to do a hard boot at the power switch to regain control of my machine.
Tonight, 42:17 and going (it would appear) strong.
So, my Windows box is handling the video capture, and I'm on my Linux box doing work for the Day Job. My hope is to work out a way to flip that.
Late Edit: Okay...so, the DV capture program locked, or at least lost its connection to the PC, with about fifteen minutes to go on the tape. At least it let me close it, re-open and finish.
