Now that there are digital video recorders under $300,
what is the advantage of using a video converter (such
as the ADVC-100 by Canopus) to copy a tape to your
computer for burning onto a DVD, as opposed to hooking
up a VHS player or camcorder to a DVD recorder to directly burn a DVD of the tape?

I understand that lip synch problems occur sometimes
with some types of video conversion methods (which is
not a problem with the Canopus product). Would the DVD
recorder avoid such problems?

It should, because what can you change in hardware ?
On DVD standalone it should be in "order"
other wise you have a faulty product..
The good thing about the ADVC100 is,
that it has audio and video "locked" to eachother, which other boxes not allways have,
and it uses Firewire, no problems because of
this too.
With other "boxes" you could run into trouble
because of they do not support these "features"

Well, on the pc you have the freedom to make nice menu's, and you can encode also in Divx, MPEG4,
or make a (S)VCD (for those who still got no dvd player in their pc).
or in normal uncompressed AVI file format, when
you want to edit, add Special FX to your material first!
I don't know what quality a standalone dvd recorder offers, but it's hard to upgrade, and
a pc is not.
