I'd be interested to hear what others say on this, but VHS is not as good
as broadcast, and when I've captured VHS to disk using a Miro DC1 card, I
can't say the quality has anyway matched say a digitized 35mm camera shot
as a slide. 

I'd be grateful if someone who has the figures could explain in detail how
the image loss comes about from say VHS --> half PAL capture --> MPEG
