A previous article also using Easy Cap https://gordonlesti.com/digitize-a-vhs-tape-with-ffmpeg-and-easycap-on-linux... Another similar usb video converter, "Cleantt" on Amazon, mentioned as Linux compatible https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Converter-Capture-Support-Android/dp/B07QFVNS... 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-... 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? Comments and other options or suggestions are welcome to clarify the latter :; Terje søn. 26. sep. 2021, 00:32 skrev <[email protected]>:
Yep, something like that, I think the make I used was Easycap.

Something like this? USB 2.0 Audio/Video Converter - Digitize and Edit Video from Any Analog Source Including VCR, VHS, DVD

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?
