I've been looking for a good setup to transfer old VHS tapes to digital (computer). I was browsing B&H Photo site for some ideas, but reading some of the reviews on products left me more confused than ever. I currently have a Panasonic AG-5700 (professional grade), but it's kind of old and probably needs repairs, it plays back with some noise at the bottom and top of the picture, kind of like the tracking is a little off. But when I adjust the tracking, I can't get it any better.

I'm thinking that a better (newer) VCR deck and possibly a separate TBC/Proc Amp might work better. My price range is probably around $500-$900.

Any suggestions on what I might look for?

Thanks!
