Thanks DB83,

What is tbc?
What better capture device would you recommend?
Will better capture device improve quality of my digitalized capture files?

Thanks in advance

tbc = Time Base Corrector
Take a look at the forum and you will see various recs. Problem is that most require legacy PC slots (ie no longer in current mainboards)
Depends. A good quality VCR and/or a tbc (some high-end vcrs have a built-in tbc) is the first step. Problem is that you have PAL tapes so that discounts most USA VCRs

Thanks again for your support.

No. Look for an old Panasonic ES10 or ES15 DVD recorder. It has TBC functionality in passthrough mode.
