:The Answer:
:
:for 180x240 there is no difference based on tape source.
:
:for vga 640x400 the vhs detracts from the output on RealVideo.
:and depending on what you are "capturing" with (the A-D on the computer)
:the source may or may not matter
:
:
:
:if you can go DVcam (about $1500) that is where the FireWire interface
:kicks in and allows digital xfer to the PC and the quality is MPEG2
:800x600. DVcams are also quite small and have the latest ccd optics so
:work well in low light conditions.
:
:but for low end, a VHS cam will do fine.
