Kendall, have you sorted this out yet?

Couple of questions come to mind

1 - What format is the original tape in? Is it a VHS or Beta Cassette type videotape or professional videotape? or 8mm Video?

2 - Are you converting to another type of video cassette or just keeping the audio onto an Audio cassette? Is the CD for Audio only? There are Video CDs or CDs that have different video files on them.
