Hi, There are a Few TBC"s that are of a Reasonable Price ($200-$500) like the "DataVideo TBC-100" which is actually an Internal PCI card that you Put in your PC and you Just Hook your Video signal into the TBC and output to your Capture Card and then Capture ....
These cards are about $200..
What might be a Better Choice is the "DataVideo TBC-1000" which is an external Unit about the size of a DVD player and Costs about $350 and from what I hear it is a Very Good unit for the Price but then again for that Price you can get an ADVC-110 which has it"s own TBC and audio Lock Feature.....
If Sync problems are a Major Concern then you Could still get a device Like an ADVC-100 and encode the Files to MS-Mpeg-4 v2, You would get Extremely Good Quality and have Perfect Audio and Video Sync, also the ADVC units Can disable Macrovision copy protection so you can copy retail VHS tapes without any Problems....
And because a Capture Card has an audio Input doesn"t mean it has an audio Lock feature but some do, but most all are Hardware Encoders..
Sync problems are usually due to the Sound and Video Capture Clocks being slightly different or from dropped Frames which you should not do when captureing at such a Low resolution.....
There are a Few Capture devices that use Hardware Mpeg-4 encodeing so you could Capture directly to Mpeg-4 but I am afraid that the Quality will not be any Better when captureing at such a Low resolution.....
