From my perspective, we have had a video camera since my 16 year old

don't think they are modern family heirlooms -- I do -- but I don't
revisit them often. I don't know whether I am typical, or an extreme
example. Add to the mix the fact that these video tapes play on the TV,
designed and placed for group watching while the QuickTime stuff mostly
plays on the small screen of a computer, designed and placed for
individual use.

Aha, but that is only true if you:

1) fail to burn the DVD that you can
   a) send to all your relatives as "gifts."
   b) play in your DVD player connected to your "Big Screen"
2) do not jack your iMac into your "Big Screen" and Stereo
