Re: Need Recommendation for VHS to Digital Hardware

Actually the ADVC models are very good. The way to use the capture from
analog to DV is to open the capture module and then hit the play button
which opens the 1394 port. You then begin either capture and then hit play
on the VCR, which leaves a little blank video at the beginning - or hit play
on the VCR and then record on the capture module. This is a normal way of
dealing with analog to DV capture devices where there is no device control
due to the fact you are capturing from an analog source. This method is also
described in detail within the manual that ships with these types of capture
devices, whether it is an ADS Pyro A/V Link or the Canopus ADVC models... If
you folks would just read the manual before trying to use the device it
would save you plenty of time and headache.

What digitizing hardware would you recommend?

I originally purchased a Canopus ADVC110 which seems to be highly
recommended but could never get the thing to work correctly with the right
combination of firewire drivers and capture software. After a couple
days pulling my hair out with that and numerous installations of various
bloated video editing/capture packages, I ended up buying an LG LRY-517
VHS/DVD Recorder combo (Circuit City) to transfer VHS tapes directly to
DVD. It worked great, and I could transfer the VOB (MPEG2) files to the
computer for editing and further encoding.
