Cool thanks man and thanks for understanding where I'm coming from. Yea I don't want to spend $200 on some old S-VCR thing. Although the ez grabber came with some of its own software I'm trying to use/learn virtualdub.

I think initially I need to fix the source of the problem which is the VCR and then improve things from there. So are there anymore old VCR tricks or maintenance things I could do to improve the capture? The main thing is, like I said, the tracking kind of has a mind of its own and freaks and by going back and forth, and back and forth. Usually it stops automatically tracking on not a very good picture, then I have to manually adjust the tracking. So there's no way I can just leave the VHS tape to play, I have to sit and watch the whole thing to fix the tracking as it goes. Kind of annoying.

As far as picture quality this is what it's looking like so far:
