Capture device for capturing C-64 demos

I have been thinking about getting a capture device for capturing C-64 demos and old VHS cassettes. Currently Grass Valley's (ex-Canopus) ADVC-110 seems like a good choice.

Has some interesting read about capturing C-64 demos with ADVC-110.

Before buying it I'd like to know if there are any other similar devices which people have had good success in capturing video from C-64 (PAL 50fps progressive).

If you have any suggestions the price should be about in the same range as ADVC-110. I checked german pricewatch site (http://geizhals.at/deutschland/a126311.html) and it costs between 237,01 - 296 depending on where you order it.

Groepaz: What are "certain problems", more specifically? All info I can find on the ImagePro HD touts that it can basically convert any signal into any other signal, so I'm curious about what it has problems with. :-)

the imagepro is fully digitial, and as a result "overdriven" signals (like what you get from the c64 =P) can not be sampled in its full range, but you will get clipping. the result is that the luma levels are a bit weird at the high range, white and yellow turn out almost the same for example.

Quote: If anyone could be so kind to capure Trans*Form - that would be awesome. I need to supply someone a video of that demo, but I haven't been able to capture it properly myself.. and i've really tried a lot. (problems: the moving objects would be static in the video, missed a frame and some odd pixel artefacts appeared in my tryouts.)

And anyone being so kind to do so, a capture of the 'remix' version would be awesome too :) I'd be very grateful! Perhaps we can work something out in exchange for the effort :)

Maybe Mr. Mouse can help you. He has done excellent C-64 captures for demoscene.tv...
