| That's OK if you don't care about keeping video and audio in sync.
Audio doesn't work on my Hauppauge PCI Win-TV card, so I get
off-the-air captures using the Hauppauge for video and a VCR stereo
tuner for audio. There's never a sync problem. I can also capture
VHS tapes that way (VCR SVHS out to Hauppauge SVHS in) on the rare
occasion I want to do that.
Using the Hauppauge tuner seems to result in a slightly better video
image than when I've tried using the VCR for video as well as audio.
