I need to convert a heap of Ballet Concerts running 2.5 to 3 hours,
off VHS. The tapes go back as far as the late 1970's and will
doubtless get noisier the older they are. I guess nothing much beats
the software Tmpgenc approach, but I'll never make the deadline unless
I move to a hardware approach fairly soon.

Can anybody recommend a standalone DVD Recorder which has a reputation
for exceptional low bitrate performance? A secondary "nice to have"
feature would be good performance noise reduction. (I'm inclined to
wonder whether the processing power to do real time noise reduction
might be a bit over the top for the current generation). Appreciate
feedback on your experiences.

TIA,

Hughy
