My grandparents are downsizing there collections of turds and gold and they want their homemade movies archived. I was thinking of a component capture card with obs. What would be a good capture card or a better way to archive?

UPDATE 1: So, my DVD vhs combo was a total piece of shit and ate my Addams family Vhs tape!!! I found a vhs player that works and looks pretty decent.

I bought a black magic intensity pro capture card (BMDPCB41G1) but I’m struggling to get the driver to recognize the card, I tried win10 but I’m gonna try Ubuntu and an older 4th gen intel motherboard. This is all I have for now, any help would be cool.

      Nah, with a vcr get hdmi out, either upscale or a fancy vcr with hdmi, plug it into the capture card. Then just use the capture card as a media source in obs and record.

      The big pain is having to be around for the end of ths video (if you dont want to have to trim the video file that is)
