Need a good video capture device to convert 8mm tapes to PC

So many cheap ones and the reviews are all over the place.

Most seems low cost.

Anyone know of a quality device? Prepared to pay more for that.

Kodak and Legacybox.com have a service that I would trust from what I've read. I made 8mm movies as a kid, but they all were thrown away or "lost" when I went to college and my parents divorced. Spiteful.

So I can put in chronically order. I converted some using a company and it was all out of order.

A smart company should come up with a do it yourself version.
