Digitizing VHS tapes

Better idea is don't use an easycap stick, they suck and will break on you really fast.

I actually just started digitizing some of my VHS exclusive straight to shiteo horror films. I've been fooling around with the Elgato Game Capture HD and OBS. So far I've gotten decent results. Still trying to mess with the settings to get a good balance between quality and file size. The Elgato is a bit more expensive than an easycap but well worth it. The easy cap will be nothing but a headache desu and a used Game Capture HD can probably be had for a reasonable price. I don't know what the GNU/Linux support is like though so your mileage may vary.

Here's a screenshot from this process. Captured at 640x480 because anything higher than that isn't worth given the quality of the tape.
