Am I missing something? I can't see why anyone would want to capture from vhs to put onto a vcd or svcd. VHS is pretty average quality, and nothing's going to improve the quality of a recording. I can understand people wanting to capture from a macrovision disabled dvd, or from a live broadcast, but not from vhs.....
Unless there's something nobody's told me.....?!
I'm not trying to be awkward, but recording a program to VHS, then capturing to vcd seems completely pointless to me, other than for say home video recordings for (physical) space saving archives.....

In my case, I want to have an easily searchable, non-degradable copy of material I know won't be available on DVD/VCD in the near future. I realize I won't get better image quality, but that's not why I wanted to burn VHS content to DVD/VCD to begin with.
Clever sig goes here. -
I use this to send home movies or interesting captures to my relatives around the country (the ones with DVD players).
A CD-R in a sleeve with a small note is still less than one ounce, and hence can be mailed for 34 cents. -
1. Durability
2. Portability
3. Indexable (Good For Quick Search)
4. Editable (Titling, Adding Special Effect)
5. Duplicatibility? (You can burn many copies of your wedding video and send to friends very quickly depending on your burn speed)
If you convert it right, the quality is quite close to VHS. Your VHS quality degrades every time you play it. After some time, mold will start grow on the tape surface...
It's also a hype, DIGITIZE it!
