Hi, I’m having a bit of information overload. I’m trying to digitize my VHS collection as I know they’ll stop working one day, and I’d like to keep their contents around after their analog form has parished. Ive tried startpaging this issue, but I’m honestly overwhelmed. The biggest take-away I have is avoid cheap USB capture devices (EasyCaps and generic variants.)
What is the best option for an American on a fixed budget who wants to digitize their collection in the highest quality possible?
Ive seen people recommending:
TV Tuner Cards
RF Video capture via MISRC and Domescape? i think were the names
Using a combo DVD/VHS player to copy the VHS to DVD and then ripping the DVD with MakeMKV or handbrake
Probably more, I can’t recall at the moment but, I’m sure someone will.
