I managed to get hold of a Datavideo TBC-100 and it certainly made a difference. Zero dropped frames so far with repeat captures of VHS that previously had hundreds.

How do you judge if a video capture is good? Dropped frames?

Can the quality of a capture be judged purely on the number of frames dropped or does it require viewing of the file to get an idea of quality?
I assume the ideal is zero dropped frames but how...

The TBC-1000 also looks tricky to get hold of in the UK, also a bit on the pricey side for me. Not sure I can warrant a £350 spend for something that may not give the desired results.

It's good to know there isn't any difference amongst the cards.
Is a "dongle" required all the AIW cards? If so is the purple box compatible across the range?
