The 'clean' up phase takes several hours but seems worth it with the old cine. Lets hop it lends something to the quality of Video8 and Hi8. I found that the super computer doesn't do downloads with a capture card which is what I told the people putting it together that it needed a storm card or similar. Anyway rather then mess about I have ordered an extra monitor screen and will use the old computer to download the 'composite' ie non digital formats from tapes. It handled that well and I can be doing it while I'm working on the big computer with tasks more suited to its huge processing power. I suppose I'm getting where I wanted to be, I know it goes over a lot of heads but worldwide there is a shedload of people all working along the same lines.
Tonight some more shots from Muckley Corner, tomorrow I have a chest xray and have Wednesday free, Polio Fellowship Thursday and sort of hoping we can nip up and do Edinburgh and Glasgow on Friday.
