I have DigiView and a digital VCR; with this setup you can digitize 
black and white (actually 16-gray) images from the VCR when in the
"pause" state. You have to make sure your recording is of good quality;
if you have any distortion or snow it appears in your final digitized picture
in glorious detail. You can digitize in low or high-res, and, with DigiView
3.0 software, in overscan.

With Perfect Vision you can digitize black and white low-res images
from a VCR or live source without having to pause. The digitizing
takes less than 1/30 secs. I've used it; works fine. With the color
splitter you should be able digitize color images, but I have no experience
with that...
