Some tips on converting VHS to digital.
- K-Lite Mega Codec Pack
- VirtualDub (32-bit version is preferable because of better compatibility)
- LAME MP3 Encoder
- macOs:
brew install ffmpeg
- SONY SLV-SE620
- EzCap as USB 2861 (DirectShow)
- SCART-3RCA cable (switch to OUT on SCART end)
- Check Audio → Enable audio capture
- Uncheck Audio → Enable audio playback. Audio playback may significally slowdown your video capture rate
- Adjust raw audio capture rate to something like 48 KHz 16 bit per second.
Preset: medium Tune for film Check Zero latency and VirtualDub hack
If your PC is quite powerful you can deinterlace on the fly.
Check Direct stream copy in Video and Audio, select needed range and then run Save as AVI…
Go to Audio → Interleaving… (Ctrl+I) and set Delay to appropriate value.
This code snippet was very helpful. Thanks a lot. There is only to note that the conversion for mac doesn't quite work that way. The files are not readable after creation.
Adding the parameter
-pix_fmt yuv420p
solve the problem.
