Another similar usb video converter, "Cleantt" on Amazon, mentioned as Linux compatible https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Converter-Capture- Support-Android/dp/B07QFVNSYJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1& keywords=free+drive+usb+video+capture+card+with+support+for+ linux&qid=1632603850&sr=8-5#immersive-view_1632603916288
And in another, more recent article Jancane A/D video usb adapter is rated as the best among 10 (linux not mentioned) https://geekydeck.com/best-usb-analog-video-capture/
https://www.audiointerfaces.net/jancane-usb-2-0-audio- video-converter-video-capture-card-digitizes-video-from-any- analog-source-including-vcr-vhs-dvd/
But I haven't yet seen any a/d usb 2.0 adapter that documents something "better quality" record format than mpegs (possibly DV25) compression.
What I really want is some kind of 4:2:2 sampling rate documented, like i.e DV50 or other. Neither USB 3.0 adapters is found, which possibly is neccessary for 4:2:2 FLAC lossless compression?
AVerMedia CE310B (Chipset: Conexant CX23888) Requires kernel version 4.19.106, 5.4.22, 5.5.6, or later. from https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/POWER9_Hardware_Compatibility_List/PCIe_Devic... if you follow link to manufacturer's site it will say device support uncompressed (4:2:2) capture.. a bit more expensive (~100$) and requires pci-e slot... but cheap usb devices tend to be cheap on all fronts?
Comments and other options or suggestions are welcome to clarify the latter :;

Yep, something like that, I think the make I used was Easycap.

My tape sources are Hi8 and S-VHS, that is S-Video quality between VHS and DV.
(Also I backed up some music from my old reel tape recorder to "HiFi" HQ VHS tapes 20 years ago). Og And I got a working Sony Hi8 tape deck and a Panasonic S-VHS deck on eBay a few years ago, as players beside my still working Sony Hi8 camcorder.

Although I have and have used some Black Magic external tools for this, I'm also interested in simple and low cost options for Linux workstations.
In a recent article the Augustin VGB100 usb2.0 video adaper and VLC was used to record video https://www.arsouyes.org/en/blog/2021/2021-05-17_Numerisation_VHS
Any experience here with similar A/D video adapters, quality and applications for recording on Linux?.
Second I wonder if some lossless, compressed master video format is available for better quality before final converting with typical ffmeg?
And third, maybe a stupid question: Is it possible to record just Audio with an A/D Video adapter, which audio record format and what quality, compared with a pure Audio adapter? And if so, can audio record applications like Audiacity be used?
