"Digitizing DAT tapes"  Hmm...

Does this entail making the 1's bigger and the 0's smaller?

Mebee. After I'm done I'll measure them and let you know the results.

While we're back on the subject, are there different kinds of DAT tape?

Tom said he'd send me his old machine in that other thread, but I don't want to waste his time if I can't use it.

I can't find mine, they are buried in a mountain of boxes at the moment. They were really small, about 1/2 or 1/3 size of a cassette and expensive as all *BLANK*.

Were there different kinds, such as the difference between VHS and BETA-MAX or is a DAT tape a DAT tape period?

Thanks

AFAIK there was only one type of DAT tape approx 2 1/4" x 3". And there were no differences in players.

Mooch will tell you I'm wrong though.

I wonder where you got your crystal balls.

Well ... funny story about that ... oh, wait, you're talkin' to Bapu.

My mistake.

Hey bapu,


Just wanted to let you know...






D.A.T. tapes are ALREADY digitized.

Some digital transfers may be hampered by the Serial Copy Management System but most of the later decks dropped all those features.



Good Boy. ;-)

DOH!!!!

Guess I should diagrammed it as:

DAT -> D/A conversion -> analog cable -> A/D Conversion / soundcard -> SONAH -> digital WAV files.

You missed some stuff off that diagram, now fixed.
 
Use this one instead to save Mooch from having to (shrug).
 
 
DAT -> Coax/SP-DIF/Tos Link -> Soundcard (Digital In) -> SONAH -> Bit Perfect Reproductions of Originals.
 
HTH Stupid Face.

Bit Perfect Reproductions of Originals.
  
 

Then I'd have nothing to blame for the turrible content.

Not worth the effort and expense of going out a buying a cable.

Great diagram JB.

Well Done

A) my machine ent got that kind of hole
2) the machine is being given away in less than 40 hours, it would take me 3 weeks to get that cable from the UK and I fink it would still not werk, an I cannae afford the Bouy tax
iv) I'm a dolt and I'm already haff way frew my transfers
e) Mooch is gonna shrug no matter what I do at this point
