Video editing, obviously :)

[mcwilliams132]

Converting my old video to digital and of course - video editing!:D

[Reid Kistler]

Studio Plus video editing software AND an input device = JOY!

Beyond the varied uses of the Software, the ability to easily import video from existing VHS tapes would be the biggest boon - especially older tapes of kids (dance lessons, school plays, vacations & such).

Maybe even a few Really Old "super 8" films....

[Joel Crane]

Video editing! I'm sick of Windows Movie Maker...

[bcre8v2]

This would help me finish converting "my" VHS Yoga tapes to a digital format!

Thank You Thoughts Media!

[GreatDay]

Oh-Oh-Oh!!!! What? A chance to become my neighborhood movie Mogul AND rescue two shelves of old, one-of-a-kind/irreplaceable VHS tapes? Do you have any idea of how many 60's documentaries and concerts and interviews I have on tape that i thought might be lost forever? Are you married.....? Sorry....i get carried away. Count me in please.

[ptyork]

The big draw to me (as with the other of these contests I entered) is the USB capture adapter which would allow me finally to be able to move my laser disc collection to a digital medium. The movie editing features are also very welcome as I'm currently sitting on quite a few hours of baby videos that I'd really love to youtubeify.

Thanks again for the site and for the contest.

[Cold Flame]

VHS to digital would be the bomb... plus I like the USB interface/video editing capabilities as well.

[makicr]

Converting old VHS for moi.

[Bob Christensen]

Would love to see what I could do to home dvds, photos, with the movie special effects tools.

[cmchavez]

Definitely would use this for transferring VHS tapes to digital.

[jlafount]

Putting a shine on the late night amateur videos

[dshep2020]

VHS and Hi8 to digital via USB would be sweet.

[dvlpr]

Video editing and getting stuff off analog for sure :)

[timmy]

Not much variation from me either: VHS conversion!! I have lots of old TV recordings laying around on VHS tapes that I know is a painful conversion marathon to handle...But with this bundle it seems easier!

[supreme_one3]

coverting old vhs

[cjhpe]

I have a bunch of old analog 8mm tapes that I would like to convert to dvd. Thanks J...

[wynand32]

Sounds like a great pair for some nifty video editing!

[fromamerica]

I have at least 30-40 old VHS tapes of my family and my son that I would to bring into the digital age. Ia m afraid that these old tapes will start to lose too much intregrity before I make the switch.

[leslietroyer]

I'd use it for editing family videos..

[n2sooners]

Love to find an easy way to get the family movies off of VHS-c, edit them, and burn them onto DVDs.

[John Lane]

Edit home movies and transfer movies from VHS-c tapes.

[Dyvim]

Capturing and editing home movies!

[otipoby]

I would convert my wedding video (on VHS) to something more permanent.

[David Horn]

Can it go from HD-DVD to DVD? :P

Yeah, I'm bitter.

[Ploobers]

Pulling old VHS tapes and putting them on DVD

[DocGolden]

Definitely capturing family movies & editing them down to just the best parts...

[wardseward]

Old family movies, of course.

[haveblue128]

This would be great for two purposes-1) Making edits to video I get on occasion from movie making pal's "weekly" output in principle photography. He gets my point of view.
2) Copy video to DVD for saving. Politics and life.;)

[mamoleh]

I have a whole bunch of old VHS tapes that need converting before they die!

[canux]

Capturing home videos in older (non-digital) formats.

[awinner]

moving 6 boxes of VHS tapes to DVD

[follick]

Capturing old family movies off of VHS, especially our wedding videos which are not in great shape.

[wilkinsjme]

Converting old VHS tapes to digital and then to DVD.

[rwelch]

We would use this to convert our old VHS stuff we still have around.

[txa1265]

This would be perfect for capturing all of those VHS-C tapes we have of our kids functions from years ago!

[piperpilot]

I want to use it to get my most treasured UNH football games off VHS and into digital format. What, you didn't know UNH even had a football team?!?!?!?!?!

[dave_p_1]

At last, a reason to crank up my old SuperBeta VCR and see if it still works.

GIGO applies to video as well as to anything but it's the garbage of my life we are talking about.

[dvlpr]

I'd use it for editing videos that I take using my camcorder.

[dbng]

Gotta get all those VHS tapes converted!
