If someone uses a DVD recorder (Panasonic ES-10 or ES-15) as a pass-through device for VHS capture (to eliminate flagging and tearing) and captures from the DVD recorder's S-video out, a 3D comb filter on the capture device isn't necessary. (It is difficult to find a consumer capture device with a 3D comb filter which is still in production.) The 260e also has a working proc amp and advanced audio controls. The main advantage of the Osprey 260e is that it has a 3D comb filter to reduce dot-crawl noise when using a composite video source. If the break-out cables are missing, they can be purchased at B&H Photo. The Osprey 260e can sometimes be found on eBay for much less. Am I really looking at $400-$500 to be able to accomplish this? Doesn't seem right to me but maybe that's simply the facts.
Any recommendations for a good capture card that will work with Windows 10? Just looking for confirmation as articles can only do so much and I trust past opinions I have gotten here.Ĭurrent Video Card: EVGA G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video CardĬhip: Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz So I think I am looking for an internal card so the processing can be done much more efficiently. Assuming external processing is NOT the way to go but was willing to take the risk given the price. I saw a CNET article and purchased a Diamond VC500 USB 2.0 One Touch VHS to DVD Video Capture Device (external/USB). Figured by now the technology has come a long way. I've recently decided to FINALLY dedicate myself to cleaning up my VHS tapes and converting them to digital.

It's really old and I think drivers for it stopped a long time ago. So 5-7 years ago I had a Hauppage Win TV internal card and used it sparingly.
