I think someone on this board might be interested in your material, if it hasn't been captured already.
The problem is, I have pretty mediocre equipment. I bought a $20 capture device off Amazon and have an old VHS player that's probably worth $10.
Yeah, that's not going to produce the best results. But then again, not everybody can afford to spend hundreds of bucks just to capture a vhs or two.
Mostly though, the trouble lies in the digitizing equipment. I see in your photo an "EZ Grabber". I have no idea how is the quality on those, I've read that almost general consensus is "internal capture card good, usb capture bad".

When trying to capture the VHS the tracking on the VCR is not very good. The audio will often fuzz out or the screen will flicker blue. Does anybody have a good idea how to fix this or optomize my capture using the equipment I have?
That sounds like your vcr's heads might be a little dirty. I used to clean them up by playing a tape we had at home that we had specifically assigned to the task. It wasn't one of those "head cleaner tape" dealies, either, it was just some documentary about Moscow.
Different software could potentially also produce better results. What program are you using to capture?
I'm by no means the greatest expert, I'd like to hear what our vhs-savvy members have to say.
