VHS capture with ClonerAlliance ViewLite AV

[AndyO6322]

I am looking at acquiring a ClonerAlliance ViewLite AV device for capture of S-Video output from a VCR to MP4 file (h264). ViewLite AV device provides an S-Video input on the device which should improve video quality. The VCR I am using is a JVC SR-MV45 (DigiPure with TBC). Does anyone have experience or opinions on this workflow approach?

ClonerAlliance 720x480 Interlaced to mp4 h.264 progressive

It works.. with the usual "expected" attributes of that type of conversion.

Wrong aspect ratio, I guess PAR has not been correctly set. Also, it either has been deinterlaced by YT, or because it is 480, 60p did not kick in. It will work for a quick "paper trail", but fails even the minimal requirements - my minimal requirements - for a half-decent YT video.

Make it useful by sharing the file produced by the box.

Good one Bwaak. Another ruined topic.

How dare you!

How dare I comment on the botched YT video and ask for the original file produced by the box? It is not like @jwillis84 has designed the box or wrote the software for it, or has he?
