USB Video Capture Devices: Wow! They’re All Bad!!
Key Points:
- VWestlife tested various USB video capture devices, mostly from the early 2000s, to digitize VHS tapes but found the results generally poor, with many artifacts and quality issues despite the devices working.
- The standout exception was the Sony Digital Video Media Converter (DVMC) from 1998, which significantly outperformed other devices due to its built-in time base corrector that stabilizes analog video signals.
- The Sony DVMC is affordable, available on eBay for around $20, supports composite and S-Video inputs, requires no special drivers, and can be powered via USB, making it user-friendly despite its age.
- The main limitation of the Sony DVMC is that it is not a USB device
