Camcorder pass-through or stand alone capture box for VHS source?

Question

What would yield better quality: camcorder pass-through or buying a more recent dedicated capture box?I have a Canon Elura 65 that I've used in the past to capture video from VHS sources. It produces 480i AVI files. However, I lost the AV cable.So, should I get a new cable from EBay or buy a dedicated capture box?

Answer 1

I've used a product called Dazzle to capture video from a VHS tape. It's easy to use. The inputs are RCA and output is USB. They run about $60.
