The quality and performanc eof those "hardware" capture devices is nto that great - even for $50.
If you had a bunch of Hi8 tapes, there would be value in buying a used Digital8 camcorder that has Firewire out (supports both Hi8 and Digital8)...
...or if you want to get into decent quality Digital Video on the cheap - $120 will buy a half decent used Digital8 camcorder on eBay.
Don;t waste the $50 on those other devices..
