Bingo! This is one of the main reasons I want this thing.

I have to figure out how to do that.  We have an awful lot of stuff on minidv.  Everything I have tried thus far has had mediocre results at best.

I've only ripped one miniDV disc. It took up an obscene amount of HD space, and the quality was barely above what my cannon digital camera captures at 640x480. I don't even use the miniDV camcorder much because
A: it is inconvenient
B: I don't have hours and hours to dedicate to ripping the digital data and manipulating it.

I want to get the WDTV, then get one of those pocket HD camcorders.

Well, the minidv camera plays back at pretty good quality, so you have to be able to transfer it pretty near that as well since it has a firewire port.  I just haven't quite figured it out yet.  You're right about drivespace, though, it's like a gig a minute raw.

I ::cough:: acquired a digital video editing package to rip mine and make DVD's. It is a huge hassle.

Yeah, I do have access to Premiere, but not to the codecs needed to get it to dvd-vob.
