The pause function on a digital VCR might produce a stable enough image to
digitize.  I don't have a digitizer to try this with, but the frozen images
on my digital VCR do seem to be very noise-free.  Of course, a digital VCR
probably costs more than the digitizer, but if you are starting from scratch
it might be worth it (?).  Digital VCRs tend to help with editing.
