Is there software out there that can allow me to 'remaster' the footage?
What sort of bitrate is best for DIVX conversion and DVD rips?
When transferring is Macrovision a problem or is it now easy to bypass?
Thanks for any help.

If you really want to do it nicely.. get yourself Pinnacle studio 10/11
Buy a dazzle analog/digital video converter.. around 99 euro...
pull your video's though the dazzle into studio.
make something of it, with cutting out unwanted scenes, using transitions, light it up if its dark.. even picture in picture, for great effects... add music, voice over.. etc etc.. and when ready, have your project burned, or make Avi/Mpeg file to disk..
Thats how i am doing it...
I have only like 3000 tapes to go, and then its done...
you now have your own nice film that you can show, without being embarrised for shaking somuch when you taped that knock out girl you secretly had a crash on, from next door..
