I did a lot more video capture over the Xmas break and have been learning a fair bit. I can only assume half of what I do is still wrong but here are some VHS to DVD capture notes that may help you along. It covers the use of Winfast TV2000 XP, iuVCR video capture software and TMPGEnc Plus MPEG-2 encoding software from my recent experience and various FAQs.

Turns out the pest inspector was having us on...

Called him today and he has changed his mind about the need to spray for Anobium Borer. As it's "only one board" and most of the floorboards are covered it's pointless spraying as you'll miss most of the house. The Borer also takes "up to 40 to 50 years to do any real damage".

The advice now is to rip up the board and replace it and "cross your fingers".

It saves us $500. Apparently you can paint stuff on it to kill them anyway. Saves us repainting/polishing the loungeroom floor for one board.

This will make sense to maybe 10 people in the world, most of whom would have forgotten, mostly as an amusing note to self.

Walken / Approximate cross overs...

• Hitman: A cross between Spin Sick and Subway Train
• Guess Again: Bridge is the main riff of Connect
• I Like It: Bridge riff sort of morphed from Forgive
• So Over It: Parts of Random

Lego Woman and Right Again were the only pre-Walken Approximate songs that survived the crossover untouched to this day. We tend to ignore Monkey, With Me, Ego and Wait For Tomorrow (Get On) these days.

A lot of the other songs started life as various working-title riffs but only Heath ever heard them and that hardly counts...
