     The programs recorded from the TV turned out pretty good.  I do  
notice a little flicker once in a while, but not too bad.  The stuff  
I record from VHS tapes is a little worse. But then again, so is the  
source.  I don't know if there is a way to clean them up or not.  I  
have noticed that when recording, I can't really use any other apps.  
or the video and sound will be out of sync, and it will lose a lot of  
the quality.
     All of them look a lot better when played on TV with a  
progressive scan DVD player.  The VHS recordings have a blurry line  
at the bottom when viewed on my monitor.  I read somewhere that it  
was for closed captioning or something like that.  It doesn't show up  
on regular TV though.
     None of it is professional grade by any means, but to me it is  
tolerable.  Plus a spindle case of 100 DVD's takes up a lot less  
space than 100 VHS tapes.

Thanks,

Kevin
