What specific kind of "hosa s/pdif format converter" do you use? I, too, am making this transition--D100 starting to crap out, and what's the use of taking it into 2005? Extra battery for you is what? Probably many on the list are/have/will/should/eventually will break down and.... make this jump. Thanks for the info, Jonathan ------------------------------ From: udo Subject: small portable ADC for good CD-quality audio? Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2004 02:17:51 -0800 (PST) Hello, Maybe someone here has _the_ tip for a (very) small, portable ADC to be used with a PCDAudio card? Just (very) good CD-quality is OK, better is optional. No XLR's required, no phantom power needed, maybe just some `plug in power` (but a few volts more than the normal voltage). A ready to use or slightly 'hackable' off-the-shelf solution would be best but also ongoing DIY projects are very interesting (I am no EE and have no SMD skills). Any ideas?

Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2004 12:11:40 -0500 (EST) Hi Everyone: I've seen a lot of issues addressing the demise of the Sony TCD D8 DAT deck. The next logical question might be, what is the best way to archive and back up your DAT masters? I know many people have transfeered the shows to CDR, but some people would prefer to have the show all on one disc without hearing fade in's and outs. I know a DAT can be backed up on a DVD as a long wave file, but these files can only be burned as a Data DVD. I was wondering if anyone has come up with a system or method of taking a concert recording from a master DAT tape or MD and authoring an audio DVD with track marks at the start of each song.

Date: Sat, 4 Dec 2004 14:38:53 EST Hi, all. I burn DVD-Rs on a Panasonic DVD Recorder (non-PC based) Is there a program which will enable that data to be extracted and edited as DV or .mov or .avi files?
