What is the next step?  After you have the materials on a hard drive, 
will they be viewed by students?  Archived?  Tranferred to another 
medium?  Distributed/viewed via network or the web?  What format(s) 
are needed?

EyeTV from El Gato <http://www.elgato.com/eyeTV/> is a 
hardware/software combination for Mac OS X that records analog video 
input as an MPEG-1 digital file on a computer's hard drive, with 
Tivo-like features.  It works well for us, in allowing students to 
view and review episodes of Destinos and other language video 
materials that we broadcast on our internal analog TV network.  We 
have not used the files for any archiving or digital distribution.
