I really don't know. It's just what I've researched here and other places. You're probably better off finding another way.

I now live in PAL country and I thought about getting a NTSC D8 camcorder so I could play my existing tapes and also do passthrough of my extensive NTSC selection. But there is no solution for my PAL tapes. The ADV55 would do that.
But as I noted before in an earlier post, experiences with a WinTV PCI card and a reasonably fast PC with a fast HD seems to be promising. Of course if the tapes are really bad not having a TBC might be an issue but most of my tapes are in reasonable shape (most recordings are first generation off TV)

Camera Pass thru works fine. However you may need to add an image stabilizer in between to get the best results. The point here is you can get a DV camcorder for as little as $200 now with pass thru and have the best of both worlds. I am not overly concerned about mpg2 capturing since this is a terrible format to edit videos with and bottom line when I am done editing I can then author and render it which usually gives better results. However, if I do want to encode directly to mpg2 I can do this with my AV Pyro in real time as well and yield good results.
Lastly, I did not realize that this post was drug up from the archives. I have an original post back in 2003 hehe with the same opinion.

Maybe a new thread should be started about professional hardware solutions. -
Hey Guys,
Very informative and helpful.
I make videos for personal use and friends with Premiere Pro and wanted to be able to look into converting old analog footage into usable digital format. I researched several converters and considering my limited budget went with the ADVC 110 from Canopus.
Please tell me it will get the job done in terms of simply running a VHS VCR straight into my PC. Most people I spoke with said it would get the job done fine.

It should do this just fine. Just remember the quality will not be anybetter than the source, so don't expect miracles. You can run it through filters.

Thanks man.
I am not expecting anything too great, just want the footage in digital format as a means of doing something with it.
cheers
