I also mentioned in my video that the Intensity Shuttle has a hard time capturing VHS so there is no need for you to repeat it in your response. It was considered the best option to have decent quality and not use more hard drives space than needed. A lot of people using the old Avid Media Composers based on the Targa 2000 capture cards would capture at 5:1 compression. It is not heavily compressed or lightly compressed. Just for the record Mini DV-25 is 5:1 compression. Having said that have you ever used a Datavideo DAC-100 or a DC 10 Plus? When I capture uncompressed 10 bit HI-8 tapes using the S-Video input on my Intensity Shuttle the image quality does look better than using the Canopus ADVC 110 but it uses up a lot of hard drive space. Learn to put things in perspective Lordsmurf. The original post was not about spending $500.00 in hardware for the best solution money can buy. No one would say other wise but when a person is thinking about getting a cheap $60.00 USB capture card most people would admit a DV converter might be a better option. Having said that all generic DV-25 based Fire Wire converters will compress the video into the Mini DV-25 codec. Why do you think that is Lordsmurf? In fact many people have stated they never had a problem capturing worn out VHS tapes with the ADVC 110. I see you have made several post about the Canopus products and TBCs. I never stated the ADVC 110 has a Line TBC built in. The DV loss is also extremely obvious in places. I'm amused that the Canopus DV in the 1st video is just as bad on timing, as we sometimes get members that insist it has a line TBC inside: it does not. The lack of quality input is obvious, no TBCs in use. I hope the video links help.īlackmagic has known issues capturing SD video.īTW, that guy on Youtube doesn't know what he's doing, says stuff that is not true. The BMD Intensity Shuttle works great for everything except VHS. Your best bet would be a used generic DV-25 Fire wire converter.

Seems like the all-round best for something that "just works", though some people had problems with drivers.Doesn't capture above 640x480 (making it useless), but I presume this limitation only applies to bundled software?

Can use with Windows, but primarily a Mac-oriented company.A little too much contrast (too extreme darks and lights).Virtually no dropped frames, even better than Hauppage.Gives very similar capture results to the Hauppauge.


This is only what I can work out from reading a few old threads…ġst place: Elgato Video Capture £30 (lowest UK price + postage) Please tell me if I've got anything wrong here, or if you disagree with my order. I've taken it all into consideration, and also really dug through a lot of old threads and reviews to get more info, so I would like to share with you my notes (below) where I've tried to create an overall rank of all the capture devices.
