    2) digitize my kids’ 14yr old videos from VHS[/quote]

    Any analog capture card can accomplish this. Again might be better off purchaing the DVD’s for those VHS’s and then digitizing, you will get much better quality as a DVD is already getting you the digital format.

    Going from Analog to digital is time consuming and the quality is extremely poor.

    I was assuming that the VHS videos were home videos, if not, I agree that purchasing the DVD or BD of that content is a better solution.

    If these are home videos, another option besides purchasing something like the Colossus is to find a service that will capture and digitize them to DVD. Depending on the amount of video though, this may be more expensive than purchasing a Colossus which you could also use for liberating your FIOS DVR content.
