Plus - you have a secondary backup if your hard drive fails while editing, or you do something stupid like deleting a video clip you need . You got it right . . . . I have been a video hobbyist for many years and have recently bought a Hi def Sony camcorder to replace my 3CCD Sony . Tapes are maybe a little more difficult but with a little care and effort you can catalogue all the info in a database for ease of access . I rough edit the tapes, then write back to the tape . This is to remove any ground shot, out of focus etc . . . . Then I create a DVD for general viewing . Or, as another way, copy to my HDD recorder . Works great for me, especially when I had a failure of a 120GB external drive with a lot of video on it . Thanks for the link - a really interesting article . :thumbs: Ken	kenj (9738)
