I need any kind of special hardware?< You can transfer DAT files in the digital domain with any digital audio card. Usually the card/deck will use a S/PDIF connection, but you have to check they both use the same type since there are optical and electrical (RCA) versions. You would need some basic audio capture utility that supports the card and which would create WAV, AIFF or QuickTime audio files.(all these can be imported to EditDV) This only transfers the audio (2 channels) and the timecode would need to be transferred separately on an analog interface. You would need suitable hardware/software for this. However, I don't know of any utility that could integrate this timecode with your audio file. If I HAD to do this task, I would transfer the DAT files to a DVCAM tape via an AES/EBU connection and timecode (this would require broadcast style DAT and DVCAM decks). You could then capture the audio from the DVCAM tapes as normal.

It reminded me of King Knut (Canute) and the tides! It is apparently a lot more than simply a new video codec, but it sure would make life easier if we didn't have to spell this out each time.
