Anyone have any experience with analog video capture? Apparently this Startech thing will do the job just fine, but would I be better going for an Elgato one? It's just for old VHS tapes so quality is probably not going to make a lot of difference, but I just want something reliable that will output full res interlaced video at a good/lossless bitrate which I can process with Topaz Video AI
>>107235590Watched a vid about how the el gato one kinda sucked and wasn't that much better than the cheaper alternatives. Really wish there was some consensus out there

>>107235742I'm probably going to get something I can use with OBS or virtualdub because that Elgato software looks like complete cancer
>>107235590I have an XCapture-1 and it works well with whatever analog video I throw at it as long as I'm using the original video recording software that came with the disc and uses adobe flash.
>>107235621You're not going to get anything good out of composite / s-video.Instead of RGB mods you could just use emulators like everyone successful on Youtube does.

>>107235590>It's just for old VHS tapes so quality is probably not going to make a lot of differenceIt does, at least comparing some cheap chink device and something more expensive.
>>107236833You should use virtualdub to capture, not OBS.After that you can just convert the avi file. It takes longer, but you get better results.
Elgato is kinda AIDS, really there's never been a "definitive" way outside of professional scans that use the reel itself.Have had this chinkium hdml cloner box evolve for a while, works great outside of its gay software with the watermark you need a code for and i keep losing the code due to my different windows installs over the years.>>107235742this guy's channel is reasonably reliable for example, though they go on forever.
>>107235590>startech thing will do the job just finethat's the story of startech.
