The thing is: the analog to digital converters _and_ the digital grabbers inside cheap pal/ntsc to usb2 are a crap. If you want a really good quality conversion you have to open wide your wallet and buy a really expensive grabber just to be sure that it has inside a good (but not so expensive in itself) analog to digital converter.
... or use a cheap external one like this (just an example):

More documentation is needed ;) The requirement was 8-bit color depth and video format (sampling) 4:2:2 throughout the workflow. The SCART to HDMI A/D converters I've searched fast on so far had missing information about this (just like the S-video&composite to usb2 converters/grabbers)
and to capture use one of these:

The sample grabber supports Video output format: YUV420/JPEG and video format 8/10/12bit Deep color (?) --------------- Terje J. H
these are just examples, (I do not work for Amazon! ;-) I picked them randomly and they _SHOULD_ work, but I cannot be 100% sure, never tried those in particular... it is just to explain the principle of this method... that you should give it a go... it's not such a great expense.
Please note that if you want a pass through usb video grabber (useful for example to grab games) you have to spend a bit (5xtimes!) more for a device with input _and_ real time output.
