I may get a stand alone DVD recorder, such as the one mentioned above. but if I was wanting to hook up my existing VCR, LD, or 8mm video camera to my PC or MAC, does anyone have any recommendations for hardware to connect those units to my PC or MAC? I am sure the cheap devices are cheap in quality and built poorly. Then the high end sometimes seems like over kill. I am mainly looking to back up some old VHS and transfer some old home videos.

Some examples from amazon that I have looked at:

Elgato Video Capture Device 10020840 - $85.00

Diamond VC500 One Touch Video Capture Device - $36.00

From Newegg:

KWorld DVD Maker USB 2.0 VS- USB2800 USB 2.0 Interface - $30
