I have no plan to compete with our National Library located locally here :)

but I prepare myself to test and use one method left with regards to
"Personal Video Archiving".
Therefore I have ordered two selected, inexpensive devices (the urls
here are just for English language):
1) Capture Card USB HDMI 4K to 1080P USB-C adapter (Speedy USB
3.2/3.1/3.0, 60 Hz and 1080p FHD.)
https://www.turascandinavia.com/en/products/computer/microphone-webcam/webcams/74257
* Fluid video recordings without delays or distortions during live
streaming
* Linux not mentioned, but assumed this is a standard supported UVC.
OBS and VLC is mentioned.
2) Scart AV SV to HDMI Converter Switcher S Video Composite RCA DVD HD
TV adapter (3-4 weeks delivery time
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/295472602625
* The 3-in-1 S-/video/RCA/SCART to HDMI converter is a universal
converter for analog video input to HDMI output.
* Analog to digital converter (ADC), 10 bits maximum 1,62 MSPS sampling,
Q I have not yet found a definitiv ffmpeg FFV1 v 3 syntax guide for SD
and HDV capturing and hope for suggestions and comments here!?
3.1 FFmpeg recipe (PAL)
ffmpeg -i VIDEO_IN \
-c:v ffv1 -level 3 -coder 1 -context 0 -slices 24 -slicecrc 1 \
-color_primaries bt470bg \
-color_trc bt709 \
-colorspace bt470bg \
-color_range mpeg \
-map 0 \
-top 1 \
-c:a copy \
-g 1 -pix_fmt + \
VIDEO_OUT.mkv
3.2 Reference Example
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/FFV1
Copy audio "as-is" and use FFV1.3 as video codec.
Parameters are 8 threads, coder=1, context=1, GOP-size=1, 24 slices
and slice-CRC on:
ffmpeg -i <input_video> \
-acodec copy \
-vcodec ffv1 -level 3 \
-threads 8 \
-coder 1 \
-context 1 \
-g 1 \
-slices 24 \
-slicecrc 1 \
<output_video>
3.3 Various Encoding examples for Video capture from USB camera /dev/video0:
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 25 -video_size 720x576 -i /dev/video0
output_data.mkv
ffmpeg -f v4l2 -framerate 25 -video_size 720x576 -i /dev/video0 -codec:v
ffv1 -codec:a pcm_s16le \
-f matroska output_video.mkv
Check that video is captured properly using ffplay:
ffmpeg -ar 44100 -thread_queue_size 1024 -f alsa -i $AUDIO \
-r 25 -thread_queue_size 1024 -i $VIDEO \
-codec copy -f matroska - | ffplay -
Check the overall flow using ffplay before capturing:
ffmpeg -ar 44100 -thread_queue_size 1024 -f alsa -i $AUDIO \
-itsoffset -0.5 -r 25 -thread_queue_size 1024 -i $VIDEO \
-filter_complex 'channelmap=FL-0' -filter_complex
'crop=w=700:h=556:x=8:y=0' \
-map 1:v -map 0:a -codec:v ffv1 -codec:a pcm_s16le \
-f matroska - | ffplay -
4, Regarding FFV1 lossless compression in realtime
Comparison tests (2013/2015) have shown that FFV1 produced the smallest
files at the fastest speed. It can be used to capture SD material in
realtime, and HD possibly, too. This according to a 2012/2015 article,
where I have extracted the results for FFV1 v.3 in the tables below:

PAL-SD 720x576 stored as YUV422, 10 bpc (bits per component), instead of
the tested 8 bpc above, seems to me would have enlarged the the
filesizes with about 25%, or to about 40 GB/hr with FFV1 lossless
compressed.
Although the FFV1 compression results above obviously used yuv422p, 8bps
source SD and FHD files as input, it seems for me that the encoding
speeds at 216 fps and 31 fps for SD and FHD respectively, assumingly
should manage realtime FFV1 encoding and streaming of PAL SD and HDV at
25 fps as well, especially with a faster i7-6700 x 8 cpu. Comments here?
