I have the Fusion Plus card and have used it to convert VHS to DVD. Not a pleasant experience but it worked.

What is the problem with your Fusion card? Can't recommend another card but maybe I can help you get that one going?

Cheers,

Glenn

Here is another good reference site on video cards (plus other electronic stuff): http://austech.info/

The main thing to look out for with video cards is the rate of video frames dropped. If the drop rate is high it will result in noticeable video/audio sync problems, especially in long duration video transfers.

Some of the more expensive cards claim to have very low drop rates due to faster video electronics on the card, but it is also influenced by the speed of the receiving hard disk and the PC's CPU speed.
