Our society is still in the process of The Digital Conversion, whereby all of our analog content is still in storage, and some of it is being converted to a digital medium.

I suspect my own personal experience of having friends who have a minor collection of VHS tapes and other analog content, are not unique. This particular friend was very interested in finding a way to make the recording more permanent and to prevent any further loss of video quality. One of my friends had a videotape where he appeared on a local news station. Content ranged from family events to television broadcasts. Several of my friends had a box with a few dozen VHS tapes in them. In fact, they did, and I was rather surprised I was not the only one. I myself fall into this category, and as my curiosity got to me, I inquired around with my friends to see if they had any VHS tapes lying around. It may come as a surprise, but analog video sources are still owned by many households along with a plethora of video tapes being stored in boxes which have never been touched in years. By the way, the honestech name is spelled in lower-case, so for those who thought I forgot to capitalize at the beginning of a is meant to be that way.Ĭapturing Analog Video Is Still Needed & Necessary honestech now has a new version, which supports several new features, and DigitalDingus looks forward to reviewing them.
