There is only one real solution for you, VLAB Motion with a Toccata soundcard.
It has good quality inputs and the software is a breeze...
The VLAB Motion is a ZorroII card that can handle Composite and Y/C Connectors. It has a chip onboard that handles compression of video to the MJPEG standard in YUV 4:2:2 pixel quality.
This is fairly good quality for home video...
The Toccata card is a good soundcard and you will get CD-quality sound, but it uses the CPU fairly heavily.
Together with the VLAB Motion card you should get a piece of software called MovieShop. Look for version 4 and above.
You will need at least a 68040 and 16Mb RAM to make the software run smoothly. As mentioned before the Toccata tends to use the CPU a lot.
Finally you need a dedicated disk for your video and audio. Make sure the disks are reasonably fast and use SCSI-disks as this is the only interface on the Amiga that will cope.
When you hook up the VLAB and Toccata you will also need an additional video-monitor for viewing video. Video in and out of the Vlab-card will not show up on the Amiga screen because the MJPEG images needs to be unpacked by the hardware on the VLAB card.
When movies have been recorded to the Amiga they can be converted to a more "understandable" format for the PC. The conversion might take hours if you only have a 68040, but you have to sleep sometimes... right?! ;-)
I used this setup to record several different home-movies and quite a few TV-series from my VCR.
After a few months use I moved on to the MacroSystem DraCo which is like the setup described above, but more dedicated to video.
Now I record most TV-stuff on a Linux based media center PC. But if I had a pile of VHS- or similar- movies that I wanted to record onto digital media I would be all over eBay looking for a VLAB Motion to put into my Amiga....
The feel of the Amiga combined with the quality of the VLAB Motion and the MovieShop software makes it a winner, at least for me(!!)
I don't think you will get much better results from recording the video on a PC, and the whole experience is so much better on the Amiga.
But you already know about that - you own an Amiga!! :-)
