I use a Draco witch is a very nice machine - does perfectly what it is supposed to do - and is an Amiga. (Runs Os3.9)
It is however not really cheap.
The other possibility:
What about a (standalone) DVD recorder? They have reached a price region where they become a real alternative now.
Here I have seen offers for about 220 Euros. The perfect replacement for the old analogue video tape recorder.
