Hi,

I'm not sure if you want to invest money into the project but a  "low 
tech" solution I have used before is a DVD recorder that works similar 
to a VCR. I used a Phillips DVD recorder to record VCR tapes. I piped 
the VCR output into the DVD recorder input using RCA plugs. The DVD 
recorder has basic capabilities to index the DVD and label the different 
tracks. Nothing fancy but it works.

For an example of what I'm referring to go to www.phillips.com and look 
at their DVD recorders.
