Hi All,
I would like to capture our family vhs collections to digital. To be honest i thought it will simply work like to get some capture device not cheap but not expensive (what i found said best is Elgato USB S-video capture) and grab a used but working VHS deck push play done happy. I started to read forums and i realized this is also something which is more complex then this. (why should anything be simple) so i would look for your advise. (located in EU-Hungary just regarding PAL NTSC )
We have several vhs videos made by handcams from back at time. these are between not so good and bad quality. So I dont need move theater quality.
I was thinking to buy this elgato https://www.elgato.com/en/video-capture plug play done
Now after reading all around expensive decks TBC more expensive capture cards high spec pc-s i'm confused afraid.
i was thinking on a budget of 100 USD/EUR/GBP whatsoever.
Is this a relative expensive crap or is that enough for a reasonable digitalization on not so reasonable quality original source?
These VHS were not watched since 10+years and i presume in the next 10+ years even would be not watched but it would be good to have as a memory. So i dont need excellent but reasonable quality.
Or would there be anything else to use on this budget level?
Thanks,

Capture card comes after, and reading the forum you will find many suggestions...
edit: sorry, I read now that you already have the VCR.
