Tried a number of things over the years. Had a semi-professional convertor from a friend, this worked on firewire rather than usb. Very good quality but if the tape had any, i mean ANY dropout, it would bluescreen and not record anything else. It was just too fussy.
Got a cheap Kaiser Baas unit that took a composite video input and put a usb output. This thing was rubbish, ok for animated stuff, but any full motion video it just went all pixellated.
In the end got a stand-alone LG DVD recorder, results are fairly good, but ironically not as good as good VHS, and you are restricted to all its menu screens for the finished product, which aren't all that bad really. It's not fussy at all with the input material.
