I am an enthusiastic novice and I am hoping to turn some of my old vhs videos into DVD format so that they can be played back on a standalone DVD player and shown on a TV.
It appears that only the more expensive capture devices and cards provide the higher resolutions of capture to enable quality full size playback on TV. and a number of products seem to offer what I am looking for but .... is a USB2 external solution or an internal PCI capture card likely to produce better results?.

I am not a gamer and so have only modest graphics provision but I notice that some graphics cards provide Video in and Video out facilities. however the specifications of these do not seem to provide details of the possible capture resolutions. Can a graphics card such as a Radeon 9200 VIVO capture picture and sound from a VHS source as efficiently as a dedicated capture device or tuner card whilst at the same time upgrading my graphics card ?

yours hopefully Rob
