dka, For home use I use Formac's Studio DV. It imports and exports analog video to DV and back to VHS. http://www.formac.com/p_bin/?cid=solutions_converters_studiodvtv Other units include the Dazzle's Hollywood DV Bridge which does the same thing. http://www.dazzle.com But, I cannot fully recommend either of these units. I bought the Formac first, and it had great output (which is what you want) but the capture on it had a small amount of video noise. On the other hand, I also got the Dazzle and it had great capture but not so great output (even after sending it back and getting a replacement unit. So, I gave up trying to get anywhere with either company (terrible customer support)and ended up keeping both, using one for capture, the other for output. :-( So, judging from what I have learned, I would say the Formac had the best video output to tape, but that's just my experience. Hope that helps you a little bit. Chucker
