If you only use the audio tracks. With a VGA-to-NTSC converter and a
framegrabber, you could up this number quite a bit. Assuming only
320x200x8 resolution, grabbing only 15 frames a sec (below even VHS
quality), that's 64k/frame*15frames/sec*3600sec/hour=~ 3.5G/hour. Of
course, for the cost of a decent framegrabber, genlock, and VCR, you could
buy a good tape drive..
