Nope. I cant access youtube at the moment, but there's a video of Canadian Ezra Levant being interrogated by his own government. His crime: He published a cartoon with a Muslim.

So much for free speech. Looks like Canada is becoming even more tyrannical than Australia.

From Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Levant]: "Soharwardy's complaint was ultimately withdrawn, and a complaint he filed with Calgary police came to naught." Looks Canada isn't very good at being tyrannical.

The Best VHS Capture System Using Free Software? 85

mrcgran asks: "I have been trying to find the best solution to transfer VHS tapes to a digital format using Free Software only. I would like to lose as little as possible in the conversion, sampling optimally, minimizing noise and being in control of every step of the process. Storage is not a problem. I'm expecting to use around 5GB+ for each hour of raw captured footage." If you were going to build a VHS capture system using Free Software, how would you do it?
