Interesting analogy. I am having opposite problem. I have a shoe box half filled with miniDV tapes. Camera is long gone. I would like to transfer these to hard drive. Services that offer service digitize your tapes just too expensive for me. Most of the tapes probably just goofing around and there is issue of privacy. With current camcorder I just plug the SD card into computer and copy across.
