It's not illegal to buy those boxes.
Does his computer have firewire or does it have to be USB?

If his tapes are home made then there's no problem but if they're commercial then he'll need the box from the other thread.

once he gets the vhs onto harddrive, he can use something like handbrake to convert it to formats that are tuned to ipod or whathave you. that's what i use to move my stored dvds into an ipod friendly format before i go on a trip.

cheers.

Exactly. Regardless of what the SPAMMER says, there's no need to buy anything but the capture hardware. Handbrake is free and would work perfectly for encoding to MP4/H264 for iPod, and is honestly probably better than the software the SPAMMER is selling. I don't care how good it is, anyway... I won't buy from SPAMMERS.

I love how they used "AVS" in their product name to try to leech off AVS' success.

Nothing like dragging up a thread from over a year-and-a-half ago to SPAM your crap software.

The Grass Valley (formerly Canopus) ADVC-110 is an excellent choice for converting analog video to digital video (DV-encoded)...

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/349146-REG/Grass_Valley_602029_ADVC_110_Bidirectional_Media_Converter.html

The quality is excellent and there's no audio sync issues of some capture card solutions. If you have a PC with FireWire connectivity, then that box, along with a DV codec, WinDV for capturing, Virtual Dub for editing/encoding and SUPER for encoding, and you'll be well on your way to converting VHS to DVD and other digital formats. Because the box uses FireWire, it would work just as well on a Mac with FireWire connectivity and the appropriate software for capturing DV.

I don't think there's anything in the 110 that would warrant upgrading your 100, Tom. I think it can just be bus powered or something instead of needing an external adapter.

For the benefit of others reading this now... Some DV cameras with analog inputs also had a feature called "analog pass-through" or the like. With those cameras, if you put them in record mode, or merely had them connected to the firewire bus with the analog connectors configured in the menu as an input, you could capture live video from the analog input via the firewire bus. So the camera would function just as the Canopus DV interface did, but some of those cameras at this point could probably be found used as cheap even cheaper than the Canopus DV box.

DV over 1394 is definitely an excellent way to capture analog video, though. Much more reliable and easy to work with than many of the other solutions - and more flexible, too.
