    I used one similar to
    USB VHS TO DVD CONVERTER / VIDEO CONVERTER / CAPTURE | eBay

    Came with Ulead editing software. The software is not supposed to work on Windows 7 64 bit but I found a work around on the net, can't remember much as I've not used it for ages but it works fine.

    If you can capture to MPEG, you can then use VideoRedo or other similar software to top-and-tail the recording and take out the adverts. The advantage of VRD over conventional editing software such as Ulead is that it is a lot faster because it is not uncompressing and recompressing the video, apart from for a few frames either side of an edit. You can't add effects like fades, captions etc, but for recording off-air (either live or from an off-air VHS recording) you often don't want to do anything fancy apart from taking out adverts and continuity announcements.
