I'm looking to put some old movies onto DVDs from VHS tapes. From reading around, it seems Hauppauge has a good option for me to use, but I ran across 2 different models and wondering what the differences are for my needs.

This is the one I was ready to buy today that I've read most info about on these boards and elsewhere, price $122:

But then I ran across this one while checking at Pricewatch.com, price $79, but don't see it listed at Hauppauge's site:
http://www.compuplus.com/i/VIDEO/Video-Capture/Hauppauge-WinTV-US...

As money is an issue to me atm, was wondering what the real differences are for my needs of transferring VHS tapes onto DVDs.

My computer is an AMD 2500, 1 gb ram, WinXP SP2, 6800GT video card if any of that matters in the choice.

Thanks for any advice.

The second also does this: "WinTV-USB2 also connects to VCR, video conferencing cameras and camcorder products for video capture and video conferencing."
It's cheaper though, because it only records AVI.
The first is a hardware mpeg-2 encoder.

Definitely go for the first one, although the internal PCI PVR-150 is actually a better device, and available for about $75

I second that, Definately go for the First one as the second one is a USB device with no Hardware Compression and the only good USB devices Use Hardware Compression...

I actually used to own the "Hauppague WinTV USB" as it was My First Of Many Capture devices and it was also the worst Capture device I ever owned,It worked well enough but the quality was awefull....

Cheers
