No, VHS to DV doesn't get it "right", it just gets it "easier". Since you've admitted that with all of your expertise you've never been able to achieve a lossless capture of anything anytime anywhere using gear optimised for analog source, this doesn't offer us much. I'm always namuseds at the failed-at-lossless crowds, they never fail to jump in with "advice" about something they have no experience with. They want more "comparisons", but people have been posting tests and comparisons since Windows 3.1 and as far back as I can remember since Bm and the Canopus sites starting muscling in on analog capture. Why would one think that if the same thing is repeated, somehow the outcome will be different?

But you're correct. if your skill level at capture isn't so great and your overall knowledge of video properties and restoration islikewise, you're better off with DV capture. Why ride a proper bike when you can use the three-wheel trainer and learn so much less? Then the lossy crowd can advise how to clean up the bleed as well as the crushed darks and blown-out brights.
