I-Movie

BIG MISTAKE when trying to make a movie from footage that was originally on VHS:

thinking you can capture the *whole video* into a file on the computer then make clips and edit from there. 

After twenty minutes the audio sync is about twenty seconds off. Granted, I'm working with *old/expensive* and *new/cheap* equipment that really wasn't meant to work together... But I don't care enough about this project, at this point, to invest in both a new computer and a DV camera with firewire out and composite-in just so I can make a 3 minute collage from 4 hours of footage taken nearly a decade ago on an old-at-the-time camera that barely worked, and transferred to a worn-out old VHS tape. Presently, there's nothing really going on in my life to justify a DV camera, it's not really a path I'm interested in going down except for this project, and when/if that time comes the camera I get now will be outdated.

I could probably borrow one from a friend of a friend, or maybe the library...  Maybe I'll go that route some day...
