Within the last 12 years I've attempted to transfer my old Beta and VHS tapes to digital, and really everything I've tried doesn't record the exact quality.. Either compresses the file to much, or adds video error or discolor into the file.. I've tried multiple capture cards over the years, and pinnacle dazzle which drops frames, on a very fast computer... Now I just bought a ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0 which doesn't even need a computer, and of course it adds audio noise from video tapes and I think it compresses the mp4 files a bit too much.. Only other thing I can think of is to buy professional equipment, that will record the files either RAW or not too compressed, and hopefully can stretch the image out to 720 or 1080p still at 4:3 and not stretch it out to 16:9... And also not depend on the computer as it processes the audio/video on it's own.. Anyone know of any equipment to buy that will do all this without loss of quality and frame dropping?
I'm looking at this product:
