I was tempted by the elgato but I watched a video that showed it was poor quality.

Perhaps a VHS to DVD recorder is the way to go

I've been perfectly satisfied using the S-Video on the elgato. If you use composite, not so great.

This is the video in question, which seems to indicate the elgato software is to blame for the poor quality.

That’s the one! Although I don’t think they used S-Video so perhaps that’s better. But like you say, the software was to blame with no change of bitrate etc

Are you confined to using their software or can you use other software if such a thing exists?

Unfortunately with the "video capture" model specifically, it sounds like you're limited to using their Windows or Mac software only.
