[QUOTE="haggard, post: 138774, member: 183237"] Just one comment, if you go the route I do, via a dv (avi) file then using a mpegger like Bitvice, you can clean up the picture quite a bit and it looks subjectively, just a tad better than the original VHS tape. On my trusty old panasonic VCR, there is a little knob that takes out noise. That helps if I am in a hurry. But Bitvice has algorithms looking for areas of uniform colour/density and does a good clean up. Referring to the original need - cheap, I would look for a Hollywood Dazzle on eBay or look at current new version (VCR -> dv). It must be less than £100. I cant remember what the name of the VCR -> mpeg gizmo was in MediMax but Do wohnst in Deutschland nicht? T_G? Then there must be a store near you h**p://www.medimax.de/htms/filialen/f_filial.html I have a hauppauge digitiser also that I got when it was the only thing that would work on a Mac. I hardly used it on my G3 cos there was always a faint warble on the audio, something to do with the USB multiplexing. I used it only for making movies off VHS to watch on trains where the warble couldnt be heard. I will check it on new G4 and see if the warble has gone. Hauppauge simply said "what warble" -- except in web archives (you cant escape them) there is a link to an old Hauppauge page saying their engineers were looking into it. If there's no warble, you can have it for price of postage. If warble is still there, then I will bin it. It is possible drivers exist for PC. I used to capture using Adobe Premiere which saw the thing alright on Mac. [/QUOTE]
