[Fmpro] Canopus ADVC110 or 300?

[jon j kirch]

Susan,
If you all you want to do is transfer VHS onto your computer, I would go 
with the lowest cost device.

Or;

Here are two more possible solutions :

1) Purchase an affordable miniDV video Camera (Sony, Canon)  and use It 
as the transfer device between the VHS player and your Computer.
BENEFITS : Quality of the picture will be perfectly fine, And, you get a 
cool camera!!!!

2) Go to Best Buy or Fry's and buy the box that plays VHS tapes and 
records it to DVD automatically. BENEFITS: no thought involved. EXCEPT, 
once you have the dvd you will still need to rip the movie from the DVD 
( now in your computer ) and convert it to Quicktime or WM, but there 
are many
free utilities you can download for that.

I have an old video capture card (DC30+) but hardly ever use it. 
Instead, long ago, I switched to option (1 ). It would be my first 
choice for you.

Hope this helps,

jjk
