Its doing nothing but raining here in Phoenix today so staying inside and getting some work done. Dropping by Fry's later today and see what they have. Going to look at the FireWire card and the Diamond video capture units. See what happens and will get back to you.

Thx,

You can also look for a USB TV Tuner. They usually have a coax/composite/s-video input adaptor which is all you need for a VCR.

Upside is you have an OTA TV source for your laptop when traveling.

The one thing to remember about devices. Typically the cheaper they are the less compression hardware is built in which means more work for your CPU.

But for VHS source I would not sweat that too much.
