I'm trying to get set up so as to transfer my old vhs tapes onto a hard drive and eventually edited onto dvd. The only thing I'm missing (I have everything else) is a decent vcr with an s-video output. What's a good model? I'll probably end up buying used but will consider new if under $200. I've seen a lot of JVC vcrs but the reviews on Amazon are very negative. Any suggestions or advice? I keep thinking about the all in one units (vhs tapes to dvd) but since I have the computer,software and analog-to-digital converter (HP dvd writer or I can use my mini dv camera) I'd hate to pay for extras I don't need. I did try the Ion unit that does this and ended up returning it because it didn't track very well on the first 10 minutes of any video tapes I played.
