Calalogue ref QV-3090, the specs of which are:

External USB 2.0 video capture box (Powered by USB BUS)
Composite Video or S-VIDEO input; supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM input systems.
Includes capture and editing software:
USB 2.0 DVR for preview, record and playback AV signal on your PC
InterVideo WinProducer 3 to edit and burn as VCD or DVD disc.
Snapshot capability
High resolution up to DVD quality
Supports resolution up to 720x480(NTSC) / 720x576(PAL)
Full Screen and adjustable window
Frames per second = 29.2

Has anyone had any experience with such a device?.
I have a lot of video on VHS & Hi 8 that I want to put on to DVD for archiving. What do you think the quality would be like vs VHS and what sort of HD storage will it consume?
