if you have a mini-dv camcorder, record the vhs to the camcorder using s-video and audio cables… you will now have a digital conversion that you can run through scenalyzer using a firewire connection.

capture quality depends on your source.
if your source is vhs, connect using an s-video cable directly to a video graphics card that accepts s-video [such as the ati-9800].
if your source is analog [such as Hi8], a backward compatible Digital8 camcorder can be used to capture via firewire [much better than capturing using an s-video cable that will degrade the source video].
the software [scenalyzer] will not degrade your source since the output is an avi file. the advantage over a premiere capture is that you have the ‘optical scene detection feature’ to break your clips everytime the scene changes.

this works great for analog-to-digital content:
in your case, you would need to re-capture using scenalyzer. the optical scene detection will create a new avi [clip] everytime the scene changes [optical changes because of camera stopping and restarting]. you have total control over the detection sensitivity.
