Ok right now I have a TV tuner my dad purchased (I think it's a piece of junk) that I've been using to try to record our old family VHS tapes to a hard drive. When I record them I always get jumps and skips in the recording. I know I will never be able to improve on the quality but what would be the best way for me to copy these movies onto a hard drive without the loss of any quality?

Should I just buy a better internal video capture card?

Also on another side note, when I view the captured files they look ok but not great then when I pull them into Adobe Premier (the home cheaper version) the video is all over the place but the sound is prefect, anybody know why this is?

You could try one of these. www.adstech.com/products/USBAV-709-EF/intro/USBAV-709_intro.asp?pid=USBAV-709-EF[/url] I have one that I bought from Wal-Mart for about $70. I don't have a capture card and this has a capture wizard. I used it to put my old VHS tapes onto DVD's. Works pretty well.
