Typical... I need one and they will stop making them. Maybe I should get a few

I will use the DV-AVI option for sure. Since I am in the USA the VHS signal recorded on the tapes is also NTSC. I guess 29.97i even field first. The ADVC will capture as NTSC DV so it will be bottom field first. I do not think this is a problem since I am going to SD DVD for mastering.

So VCR - check

ADVC - check

Thanks.
