As we can only record such at a 1 to 1 ratio it takes one hour to get one hour digitized. Then I find it may take another hour to clean it up to snip off the extra at the beginning and end then maybe another hour to re-compress it.
Filing and copying may bring this to about 3 hours of waiting plus a little user interaction to digitize 1 hour of video.
I find folk rarely have the patience for this work so the quick way is to have it done.
