Hi Terje, I have used a cheap chinese USB video grabber to digitise VHS. But I cannot remember the type. I used VLC, which worked fine, but OBS should also work. I had loaned the grabber, and have not tested if Cinelerra-GG could use it directly. I cannot remember if video and audio showed up as two different devices or not. If the audio is not a separate device, then I doubt Audacity can record with it.
The quality of VHS is not that great, well below SD, I did not use a lossless format. There are several, Andrea listed some he used. But all those use very big files. I don't know about the audio quality, it is likely more than good enough for VHS. But my guess is that a motherboard's A/D is better. MatN On Sat, 25 Sep 2021 16:52:41 +0200 "Terje J.
