..'any old' tv card'll do that for you, as you have a current generation graphics card ... maybe not 'bestest' or quickest, but from as little as $30, remembering that quality is gonna be more about what the vhs tapes have on them than anything else like frame drop or whatever.

The arcsoft showbiz app you mention is for just this purpose, if you want to make backup cd/dvd from DVD's you'll need something else as well
