Hope it works!
You wrote directly on the tape or you give them a sequential numeral? I tried that in the past, does not quite work out. A tape sometimes may have more than one events, so, ....

Time+event is what I am using for the photo database, and it certainly works fine.

Excel or just MSWord and type them in? Would you recommend to digitalize them and store them like movies? I think that is easier to manage than raw tapes. If so, what GOOD software is easy to use? TIA,

bun
