Please see below

More detailed requirements will yield better responses.  You need 3 things.
> 1) svideo + analog audio converter
> 2) some sort of computer to convert the input into a disk file
> 3) Disk storage
>
> Any single device that doesn't do all those things won't work for you.
>
> A few requirements questions:
>
> a) Is this for work or home?
> For home only.
>



> b) Can the recording device be another computer?
> It can be another computer or it can be the same computer where I can loop
> back and record without a gui showing up.
>
> c) Which **exact** other inputs must you have?

I only need svideo out and svideo in.

d) What format does the output file need to be? MPG, AVI, MKV, MOV, WMV,
> XVID, something with DRM capabilities?
>

No DRM is needed.

> e) What is your budget?  $20, $100 or $1000?
> about 100.

> f) How automatic/simple must this be?
> It doesnt have to be too simple.

> g) Are there any OS limitations?
> Not really.  Can't be Mac.

> h) Do you have any specific playback device requirements? Recording
> something that doesn't play on your target player isn't very useful.
> No requirements
>
> An old TiVo can do this too by using the normal inputs, so finding a
> used Series 2 TiVo may be the easiest answer.

This what I am looking for.
