This is a good suggestion. Another way to do this with higher quality would
be to capture all the video to PC and convert with software such as Canopus
ProCoder 2.0. This gives better motion interpolation than a converting VCR.
Better resolution as well, I believe, but with VHS that is not a big matter.
The downsides are that it is expensive--at least as expensive as a decent
converting VCR, and it takes quite a long time to actually do the
conversion, even with a fast computer.
