Greetings everyone,

I am looking for the best solution to digitize analog videos and capture parts
of TV programs :

- What PC specs would you recommend? (Mac was considered but limited to PC :-( )
+ firewore port?
- TV capture cards, any problem with sound /video synchronisation?
- Is a converter efficient and if yes which one (DAC-100, Dazzle Hollywood
bridge, etc..)
- A digital VCR was also mentioned any idea on the subject?
- Efficient software for video compression (DiVX, Mpeg1,2,4, AVI?) - heard of
Videolan open source? what is the best format for video streaming on a 10/100
LAN and potentially later off campus.
- Working on a PC, what is the best software you know of to create DVDs made of
compilations of small AV clips per language/level
- Indexing : what is your experience with indexing AV material on a server for
easy retrieval by teachers - per language? sub- per level? sub- per teacher?
sub- per topic? (the good,  the bad and the ugly) what recommendation would you
have?
- Database format (using access ?) FileMaker Pro? or is the database part of
your language software.
- Language software : A note mentioned elanglab a few weeks ago. Anyone
presently using it? Is anybody using Sony Soloist and composer happy to give a
short objective review of this?
- Is anybody using NetOp in a classroom environment?

Thanking you kindly for your help !
