Also ripped all my old MiniDV tapes a decade ago or so. (I don't remember it being tedious.) (I recall about 12GB for each 60min tape, FWIW.)

I've known for some time now not to trust media formats to remain easy to access as time goes on. Floppy disks, ZIP disks, SCSI…

So nice the home movies are now in the cloud (and on USB drives as additional backup).
