Video capture card + good VCR is your best bet.

Look into this canopus box to convert the signal to Firewire. Purchase Nero 8 and do a live capture using full blown AVI (will create a really big file). After that, you can also use Nero to author a DVD out of the captured video.

you can only get so good when you're talking VHS.

maybe something like DVDirect® MC5 Multi-Function DVD Recorder. it can be had for less at costco & the return policy is limitless. connect a good VCR up to it via S-video and that should give you a good option.

If you don't need editing, any decent DVD recorder should be fine. To make it "the best" just use the shortest / best of the recording speeds, around 1 - 1.25 hour per disc.
