Does Canopus ADVC-100 convert VHS well?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I have a huge stack of home videos on VHS. I want to convert them to VCDs to have something that will last longer -- and also to save some space! I've been looking at various converters and so far I think the ADVC-100 seems to be in the lead...It's about $299, so it's not too far out of my price range, although it doesn't come with any software....Anyway, I want to know if anyone's used this one and can share their experience -- Would anyone recommend this, or does anyone have a better solution to achieve what I'm trying to do? Also, what would be the best software to use? And finally, should I go this route, or wait a few years when DVD prices come down, and then convert all the VHS tapes to DVD instead of VCD? And would XVCD be an option?
