No probs - I can imagine the going without sleep documentary lol Never a good thing to suffer for that long! Good luck with the vid converting anyway. :)
Oh, and I'd be interested in seeing your films. My friend is trying to do some - I do some vids, but haven't yet done anything that is actually edited or a story. Yet...heh
Well, I've not tried it - 'cause my brother is the mac user of the family :D But this converter seems promising:

Note: Has a beta download version as well as the online.
I went the complicated route with converting VHS to the PC. My dad has a very good DV camcorder that unlike mine, can take in video & audio and convert it and pass it out through a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) cable to record as digital on the PC (which if you don't have that socket on, you can get a cheap IEEE 1394 PCI card to plug in, probably round about a tenner now-a-days).
The one part I was missing in all this, until recently was a switchable SCART in/out connector for the VHS player - finally my friend found me a cheap one for a pound :D (I didn't want to pay the £5 for the value Tesco one *grin*)
Most scart connectors are missing pins and are only for input.
Normally, it'd be easier (and cheaper if you don't have the right DV camcorder) to get a TV capture card, which now-a-days are quite cheap (I'm guessing around £40), but the quality is something to checkout reviews for before deciding which one will do.
I can understand what you mean, with the one track turning into them wanting others :/ Plus it takes time getting used to using the studio, I suspect, so one day might not be enough. Esp. if you have vocal track to lay down.
Funny enough, same issue with converting VHS, all about getting good quality from the right codec and setttings without eating up too much space on disk!
Once setup, it's very easy though, just takes the time to record & convert in the background.
Ow! £31-odd an hour for studio time, can see why your mouth drops open :O Still, worth it for the quality - for sure, for a demo track. More folk in the biz will take it seriously, I'd reckon too.
I guess, if you split it between band-members, it's not so bad. Make it a joint Xmas present to each other =)
Just enjoying myself, reading, games, VHS tape digitising - then suffering fixing PC's :D From myself, family to a friend half-way across the globe, we all have computer troubles at times I get to try and solve. Even my neighbour is trying to rope me into installing hardware as a job. heh heh
It's good you're busy with the band stuff, lotta practice and marketing I bet, man. I'm sure you'll rock the house down over the next month at your gigs. What's the plans with the recording?

Got MORE face-paint to try! It's just putting the effort in :/ That, and it makes your skin sweat like mad! :O
What's been happening with yourself?
