------------------
We have CAN 8 at the University of Alabama and digitizing audio is in real
time. The CAN 8 people set us up with two digitizing boxes, so we can work on
two tapes at a time. I'm lucky to have several TA's at my "disposal" this
semester, and they have been able to digitize a large amount of material quite
efficiently. The sound quality is fine, and the students really like using the
audio materials in this form.
I'm still learning about the video part, and it looks to be more complicated!
