        You're correct. No "correction" needed, but I have some ideas
        that might be useful...

        Anyhow, the TVOne CTB-0530T is $760 and that might be a little
        more than most folks are willing to spend.  BH Photo is a good place,
        I've had good service.

        Ah, low-budget eliminates a real TBC (8bit TBCs run in the $750-$850
        range, and 10bit TBCs in the $1100 and up range).

        Correct.  The signal needs to be stable _first_ so that the capture
        card can get the data _to_ the software.

        VHS decks have horrible sync/timing stability.   It's a wonder
        a usable picture is obtained ;)

        THere are a number of inexpensive "signal stabilizers" around - 
        something like the Sima CT200 for $80 would almost certainly do
        the trick.  Hit the http://www.bhphoto.com site and put CT200 in
        the search box.

        Cheers,
        Steven Schultz
