but I prepare myself to test and use one method left with regards to "Personal Video Archiving".
Therefore I have ordered two selected, inexpensive devices (the urls here are just for English language):
1) Capture Card USB HDMI 4K to 1080P USB-C adapter (Speedy USB 3.2/3.1/3.0, 60 Hz and 1080p FHD.) https://www.turascandinavia.com/en/products/computer/microphone-webcam/webca...
* Fluid video recordings without delays or distortions during live streaming * Linux not mentioned, but assumed this is a standard supported UVC. OBS and VLC is mentioned.
Then the first item, Hama Video Recording Stick, HDMI 4k - USB3.x is received. It promises: "Fluid video recordings without delays or distortions during live streaming, thanks to a picture frequency of 60 Hz and 1080p with Full HD. Transform high-quality video cameras into a high-resolution USB web camera". I have done a quick, first test using my Sony HDR-FX7E camera. This is a HDV 1080i camcorder with MPEG-2 video compression at 25 mbps on tape 1440x1080, 50i25fps, 4:2:0 and MP2 stereo audio. Currently it's cassette deck is broken and needs repair service. But according to Steve Mullen's V1 and FX7 handbook (not mentioned in the manual): 1. When the camera is operating, the EIP (Enhanced Image Processor) generates uncompressed 1440x1080i with a 4:2:2 color space. Digital 4:2:2 data are output via the HDMI port while 4:2:2 analog is output via component-out. Therefore, you can record 4:2:2 live HD video from the camera without MPEG-2 compression. V1 and FX7 provide an HDMI output port that carries uncompressed 4:2:2, 8-bit, digital video plus dual-channel, PCM, 16-bit, 48kHz audio When the camera is running. 2. If you are playing a 1080i50 or 1080i60 HDV tape. The 4:2:0 MPEG-2 is decoded and chroma up-scaled to a 4:2:2. The HDMI chip downscales 1440 to 1280 while it up-scales 540 to 720. The result is 720p50 or 720p60, which is output via HDMI. That is, I have tested section 1 now, but see now that I didn't test 1440x1080 resolution. The only resolution I got to work at 25 fps was 720x576 (SD), while HD 1280x720 and FHD 1920x1080 were set down to 10 fps and 5 fps respectively by the driver and caused jumpy playback. Someone here that have suggestion to possibly modified syntax or can verify that the driver doesn't manage this? Another (setup) problem, there was no audio recorded or heard during playback!? In the following I list the test command syntax I've collectedf and tried with shortened output (yet long): To explain, I have also another USB 2.0 Webcam connected, beside the new HDMI-USB3 Videstick.

Q I have not yet found a definitiv ffmpeg FFV1 v 3 syntax guide for SD and HDV capturing and hope for suggestions and comments here!?
3.1 FFmpeg recipe (PAL)
ffmpeg -i VIDEO_IN \
-c:v ffv1 -level 3 -coder 1 -context 0 -slices 24 -slicecrc 1 \ -color_primaries bt470bg \ -color_trc bt709 \ -colorspace bt470bg \ -color_range mpeg \ -map 0 \ -top 1 \ -c:a copy \ -g 1 -pix_fmt + \ VIDEO_OUT.mkv
3.2 Reference Example https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/FFV1
Copy audio "as-is" and use FFV1.3 as video codec.
Parameters are 8 threads, coder=1, context=1, GOP-size=1, 24 slices and slice-CRC on:
ffmpeg -i <input_video> \ -acodec copy \ -vcodec ffv1 -level 3 \ -threads 8 \ -coder 1 \ -context 1 \ -g 1 \ -slices 24 \ -slicecrc 1 \ <output_video>
3.3 Various Encoding examples for Video capture from USB camera /dev/video0:
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 25 -video_size 720x576 -i /dev/video0 output_data.mkv
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 25 -video_size 720x576 -i /dev/video0 -codec:v ffv1 -codec:a pcm_s16le \ -f matroska output_video.mkv
Check that video is captured properly using ffplay:
ffmpeg -ar 44100 -thread_queue_size 1024 -f alsa -i $AUDIO \ -r 25 -thread_queue_size 1024 -i $VIDEO \ -codec copy -f matroska - | ffplay -
Check the overall flow using ffplay before capturing:
ffmpeg -ar 44100 -thread_queue_size 1024 -f alsa -i $AUDIO \ -itsoffset -0.5 -r 25 -thread_queue_size 1024 -i $VIDEO \ -filter_complex 'channelmap=FL-0' -filter_complex 'crop=w=700:h=556:x=8:y=0' \ -map 1:v -map 0:a -codec:v ffv1 -codec:a pcm_s16le \ -f matroska - | ffplay -
4, Regarding FFV1 lossless compression in realtime Comparison tests (2013/2015) have shown that FFV1 produced the smallest files at the fastest speed. It can be used to capture SD material in realtime, and HD possibly, too. This according to a 2012/2015 article, where I have extracted the results for FFV1 v.3 in the tables below:

PAL-SD 720x576 stored as YUV422, 10 bpc (bits per component), instead of the tested 8 bpc above, seems to me would have enlarged the the filesizes with about 25%, or to about 40 GB/hr with FFV1 lossless compressed.
Although the FFV1 compression results above obviously used yuv422p, 8bps source SD and FHD files as input, it seems for me that the encoding speeds at 216 fps and 31 fps for SD and FHD respectively, assumingly should manage realtime FFV1 encoding and streaming of PAL SD and HDV at 25 fps as well, especially with a faster i7-6700 x 8 cpu. Comments here?
