I managed to save the Howard Dean footage! Looks like the rewind is scrooey on my camera -- I can only rewind by pressing play and hitting the rewind to play in scan mode.

This is troublesome indeed. Looks like I'll have to get my camera serviced or something...

Thanks to all who wrote in with Cleaner info to help get me started.

As a reward, I'll be serving up the rest of this week's killer
Daily Show clips -- hopefully all in one evening...
