I smell postwhoring
anyway for those who is considering buying some converting gear I would advice you to spend a few euros on a sa instead of a tv card, I`m seeing the difference after changing

Random comment:
With new optical storage technology on the horizon (HD-DVD and Blu Ray DVD) it will be interesting to see how the PC capture card vs. standalone battle evolves.
The PC's will be a lot easier to upgrade, that's for sure.

Perhaps they can't handle the layer change with out adding some sort of buffer for the burner.

I have a SA and a capture card. I am content with both at this time. Both have their advantages/disadvantages. After the elimination of VHS, SA will not have a purpose.

yeah, but there are still a lot of VHS stuff around that need to be ripped, for the next years.

lol true! Hopefully they get converted at the earliest. The longer it takes, the more of a chance for qual loss.
