USB A piece of iron for video signal digitization (VHS cassette)?

Question

Video processing

Google gives results for the years 2000-2006, I hope technology has stepped a little forward.
Or am I such a brake and everyone has already digitized the home video archive.
We filmed over 100 hours. The task is to digitize, and then put it all in order digitally.
Cheap TV Tuners (I tried Beholder Wonder and AverMedia) give extremely poor results. I know that many distill using DVD players with a recording function - but I am deeply convinced that each piece of iron should do its own thing.
I’m looking closely at the Pinnacle Movie Box - but there are quite a lot of varieties of them ... The VHS signal itself is of low quality... And I'm not going to open a professional video studio.

Answer 1

The most inexpensive option is to take a VHS tape recorder and almost any DV camera. You also need IEEE 1394 (Firewire) input on your computer.
From the VHS output via S-Video we hook video to the camera, with tulips - sound. And from the DV-camera we connect it to the computer with a fireworks. We launch Adobe Premiere, Pinnacle, etc. and digitize. Keeping in mind that 1 hour of DV-video takes about 13 GB. And before digitization, be sure to rewind the cassette 2 times back and forth.
If there is nowhere to take the camera, it is easier to buy the Pinnacle DV 500, which was common at the time.

Answer 2

Answer 5

I myself cursed for a long time about the quality of cheap tuners, and then the K-world CSS fell into my hands, I don’t remember the name, but about 4 years ago it cost 1700 rubles somewhere. And the quality was excellent. After that, I digitized in a professional studio and, given the quality of the material itself, the difference was not so huge.
Although you probably can’t guess here and I just got lucky

Answer 6

I have had a Pinnacle moviebox plus 710-USB for several years now, it's a great piece of hardware for home use, although the drivers are only for Windows. Here's a video digitized by her (see 480p not in full screen, because it will be blurry in full):

After capturing the video, I deinterlaced it and compressed it in XViD. Actually, this file was uploaded to YouTube.
