cibola123: I cant rate those methods as I havn't personally tried them. What I can talk about is the DAC-100 Analogue to Digital converter I've recently purchased. It does the job fantastically. Just connect the VHS players output to the DAC and a firewire cable from your pc to the DAC. Load premiere, start capturing, play the vhs. Boosh - your VHS tapes are imported in DV format.

Certainly worth a look http://www.datavideo.info/products/dac100.htm
