Hi Jon

But it is slow (real time). 
These recordings last for hours, that's why my colleague looks for a cheap and fast software converter.
He found TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 2.0:

At USD 60 I find it cheap but the client thinks otherwise ...

I've got one of those, dead easy to use too. Plug in the SCART socket of
your VCR or use the AV cables, and straight into a USB port. Really couldn't
be easier.

If the camcorder has an S-Video or RCA composite video output, you can get a
USB video capture device complete with editing software from about $50 or
so. Just google "USB video capture"
