If available, it could be of interest to get mediainfo output for the format you grabbed? I would be surprised if the Chroma subsampling was better than 4:2:0 (like PAL DV, about 29 Mb/s)
I don't know the format, VLC grabbed it and I had it saved as MP4.
It seems that Basetech EasyCap BT116 was not on the LinuxTVWiki list (2016) https://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Easycap
Maybe, but sometimes the same device by name has a different inside. It worked on Linux with VLC.
I've also got confirmed from AVerMedia that their CU511B USB3 (full HD) box mentioned just has been EOLed. Their only current solution with Linux driver (for Ubuntu) seems to be CL311M2 (full HD), which again is a PCIe grabber card.
There are also USB HDMI video grabbers, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fltt5JhodCE (don't have any experience with those). But the german c't IT magazine has tested a number of cheap ones, see https://www.heise.de/tests/HDMI-USB-Videograbber-mit-Full-HD-Aufloesung-ab-7... . If you are interested, I can lookup the article. Mat
