.. needed for this.

What would you recommend for a setup to:

- digitise all my home videos
- store digitally long term (cheaply, probably compressed)
- play back to a TV (of course)
- index all the stored movies?

I would be basing this around a FreeBSD system, but relatively low
cost/low power if possible (say a recent 2nd hand Pentium 166?), and
would be prepared to invest in hot peripherals for the digitisation,
storage and playback. It shouldn't need a keyboard monitor or mouse, but
should be accessable via Ethernet for control purposes. It also needs to
be connectable to a HiFi/Sound/Vision centre, probably through SCART.

=> In other words, the ultimate digital VCR.....

So what would *you* do?
