Everybody is "great", Everybody is "pro".
It is impossible to trust the ads and big box stores!

I need an affordable piece of hardware to digitize old media, such as VHS, UMATIC and other SD sources in the old analog formats.
I want the best practical quality and don't want the hardware to force me into any specific transcoding! I wish to dump uncompressed video into my system, perform my own post processing, and then do my own transcoding in the 32 core PC. My investment is in the PC, so I prefer to spend the least amount of money needed for a good but bare-bones capture device. What do you use, and do you like it?
