Look for the ADVC-100 (there are other models ranging from the -50
up thru the -1000, the ADVC-300 is new and if it'd been available
back when I started in on the conversion from VHS to DVDs I'd have
gone for the -300). Best ~$260 I have spent in a looong time.

100% agreement there :)

Exactly - which is why it's almost always necessary to run the data
thru a set of filters. Denoising at the very least. It wasn't
included with the recent release of mjpegtools (too close to the
final release) but the new 'y4mspatialfilter' is surprisingly effective
for VHS material (sometimes sufficient to not need yuvdenoise, in
other cases combining both y4mspatialfilter and yuvdenoise can do
wonders).
As was mentioned earlier if the purpose is 'time shifting' then there
are other methods that will work very well. For archiving, well, a
few extra few hours encoding is time well spent.
