Hello everyone,
I'm new to the VHS world and overall not great with tech, so please bare with me. In all likelyhood, soon I'm going to end up with thousands of VHS tapes in my hands.. with aim, or rather task of digitising it all.

I would like to do it properly and make sure I can make the most of it in terms of quality. Here big thanks to people writing on this forum, lordsmurf in particular, for all the great information.
I was able to get one of the recommended models for PAL cassetes, so RTV Blaupunkt 966. I was able to get it to play on my TV and the picture and sound look great!

Now, since I'd like to work on it on my computer - another step is the capture card.
For now - I went with device mentioned in a title, so Pinnacle Studio Moviebox Version 9. I found it very cheap on a local auction site, so I went for it. I'm still yet to get it to work, as I'll need to set up Windows XP on my old computer, but it's not a major obstacle.

I was looking for cards that are recommended on the site, but They are very difficult to get in Europe. They are costly as it is - and the extra cost of shipment makes me a bit apprehensive. I already spent a lot of money on this project - and my budget is not unlimited...
Yet, if I can get much better results with something like ATI TV Wonder, I'm open to spending a bit more to get it.

Thus, the main question I have for the community is - does anyone have any experience with this Pinnacle Studio Moviebox (Version 9) device? What is your opinion on it? Will it give me respectable results, or - if I care about getting the best possible quality while digitising the tapes, should I look to get something of better quality?
Thank You.
