I want to convert my VHS to a hard drive. A long time ago I bought a Plextor external device and the audio was never synced with the video.
Can anyone recommend any cards to that can capture VHS tapes? It looks like you get a card for video and another card for audio...is that right?

It was a few years ago, but I got a single capture card that had Neo DVD with it. few of my videos made it to DVD, most are still on my hard drive. In theory, I don't think there's any differrence between a video file on a hard drive and one burned to DVD (besides being able to view it on a DVD player). One N.B. is that you should not have multiple DVD programs on your computer at the same time, because they fight over the settings.

A few years back I picked up an external firewire device called (I think) the Dazzle DV Bridge. It was rated well at the time, I have no idea if they still sell them or if they're any good.
It basically has a set of RCA/S-video inputs, another set for outputs and a firewire port. You'd plug your VCR into it and then run DV capture software (iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, etc), which just sees it as a camera. It works well but wasn't terribly cheap as I recall.
