I have a good working Panasonic AG-7650HP S-VHS Hi-Fi Player with S-VHS output and the Faroudja circuitry cleans up old tapes decently. I also have, but have not yet tried using an Extron IN1502 S-Video to VGA video scaler to see if that helps or not. I question feeding my signal into a $20 converter to get to digital. Suggestions? I have several hundred tapes to process. I have a separate monitor output, so that is not an issue.
USB-C would be preferable. I can re-sync the audio in software if path delays are an issue.
