![]() ![]() It seems the preeminent external TBC is the Datavideo TBC-1000 but that usually costs an arm and a leg, unfortunately. Quality VHS player being Panasonic AG-1980P or a variety of good JVC models. The basic workflow is this: quality vhs player with internal TBC -> external TBC -> quality capture card -> computer capture software. That being said, I believe it really does get you the best quality results for VHS/Hi8/Beta etc. Let me tell you before hand that it is involved, so if you are looking for a setup where you just plug something in, this is not it. ![]() If you wanna get REALLY in to it, I recommend going to and getting involved on the forums there. Recorded through OBS on Kubuntu (on Windows audio was out of sync). Looking at average prices for capture cards it looks like buying a bunch of Eas圜APs and testing them all will cost about the same as buying 1 more expensive card. Or should I try other Eas圜APs as there are like 6 variations of them with different chips inside. So, TLDR the question is: Can someone recommend a good capture card\device for this? Something trusted and proven to work. ![]() Viewing live video (recording mode in camera) through the capture card also looks good.Īt first I thought it could be that tapes gone bad, but it looks ok when watched on TV. ![]() Like on the same tape, the whole new year video is great, then it cuts to something else, say a trip to asia, and that recording is messed up. Some recordings are in perfect quality though (considering the format of course). Out of 5 Hi8 tapes I digitized so far about 60-70% of video looks like this: it's black and white with colored waves\stripes all over the image. So I decided to start with the cheaper option and bought an Eas圜AP, the one I got has a MACRO SILICON MS2100E PBA-GKFLGOF 1835 chip on it. Hi! I'm tasked with digitizing and preserving our old family's videos which come on Hi8 and VHS tapes (and some others). ![]()
