They'll allow you to digitally capture any composite video signal and lock it to a simultaneous stereo audio signal. Perfect for archiving your VHS tapes before age and oxidation ruin them. I also invested in a DL burner and the latest copy of Nero OEM, the latter of which was only $15. There are freeware tools that may even be better, but for ease of use, this works great for backing up my old video.

Excellent! Thanks for the help. I have everything needed except the Canopus. I'll have to kick around the idea of cracking that set open. It sure as hell isn't doing anybody anygood sealed up. It would definitely make a hell of a nice DVD set.
