When I capture VHS tapes and LDs, I use a Canopus DV capture box. There's a lot of back and forth about how this is not the best way to do it, it's double compressing it, etc... but I find it works well enough. -J On Wed, Apr 7, 2021 at 3:23 PM Chris Fala via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

I need advice how to best digitize video, mostly standard def TV/NTSC of VCF events.
I have several USB dongles that take composite and S-video. They may be adequate, but I don't know what one's really best.
I also have several DVR (digital VCR): Tivo, Sonic Blue replay-tv. Did those have good front-ends or was most of the attention to the subscription service? I know they need to be "jail broken" to work like VCRs. There's no big red "just record NOW!" button :-(
