Oops - maybe I don't need DVD quality then!! But whatever will >capture without actually losing quality. Canopus ADVC 100. Not cheap, but it's (I think) the cheapest box that locks the two data streams. If a little drift between sound and picture doesn't matter, you can consider a cheaper box. There OUGHT to be a cheaper product that synchs properly. But last time I looked there wasn't :-( I am in the identical situation. I was told that the Canopus ADVC 300
is the product to get because my VHS tapes (home movies) are very old (>20 years). But the 300 is *very* expensive. Any comments? I was also told that I should begin "cheap" just to get a feel for this. I purchased a Pinnacle MovieBox USB with Studio 9 (got a great deal). Is this any good to experiment with or is it pure crap and I should get my money back? TIA Marvin On 13 Jul 2005 10:04:20 -0700, marvin.av***@sdc-dsc.gc.ca wrote:

The Canopus boxes aren't cheap. But, unless you want to get into pro gear (which is not cheaper again, by an order of magnitude) they do seem to be the tool for the job. Thanks.
I still haven't decided whether or not to return the MovieBox. What about the Canopus ADVC 100 vs. the AVDC 300? With my old VHS tapes, would the 100 do the job or should I save up until I can afford a 300?
