Plextor makes a small USB box with Video and Left/Right Audio inputs
where the results can be stored on a HD.
The model I have isPX-AV100U and it works pretty well. I used it to
capture Osborne VHS tapes showing how to disassemble and work on the
Osborne computers.
I just play the tape on a normal VHS player and capture with the Plextor
unit.
I've never bothered to check the specifications since this does what I
need. Probably won't be a bad idea though.

Who is currently setup to digitize VHS?
I have a few demo tapes, such as the Newtek Video Toaster demo tape, CSC
Infomercial, etc. that need to get read.

I use an old Hauppauge WinTV with SVHS and composite input. The results are
great. I've got an XP box that still works with it - Hauppauge is pretty
lousy at updating drivers for new OSes.

Do you have a better resolution video toaster demo than the one on
youtube?

I have [probably never played] VHS ORIGINAL distribution, in their black

If you'll pay the postage, send me your address.
What else would you like? (books are heavy, but often worth it)

Sorry if I sounded flippant.
I meant that I was hoping to find somebody who would WANT to do it as a
one-shot deal, rather than buy hardware for a trivial project that I
wouldn't need ever again.
PLUS, once I catalog/list them as FPUIB, I'd like to see thewm go to
somebody who would want to keep the old crap^H^H^H^H goodies

Please feel free to drop me a line if you don't find a more compelling arrangement.
The only potential snag is my deck doesn't have LP playback, just SP and EP.

Yes!
But, after he copies it to a file,
Do you want the tape itself?
If so, send me your address!
