Maybe time to check out the Hauppauge devices for YUY 4:2:2 options?Īs you mentioned, I too have had a hard time trying to work out which of the various Hauppage devices available over the years is right for this task. So no mention of 'raw' capture - only MPEG2. In the EZCAP description from that UK Amazon link it says "Supports both PAL and NTSC. I saw a few threads within the last month that detailed which Hauppauge devices to get. Hauppauge still makes such capture devices but it's hard to tell which models support raw YUY 4:2:2 (as opposed to hardware MPEG 2 or AVC compression). It's often impractical to use on a laptop because of the higher bandwidth required of the hard drive and the lack of a secondary drive to capture to. Losslessly compressed YUY2 about 3x that. The major disadvantage of this is the larger file sizes.

You may need to use alternate (non-Hauppauge) capture software to get uncompressed or losslessly compressed output.
Stay away from the cheaper counterfeit "easycap", "EZ CAP", etc. I haven't used them personally but the devices are supposed to be good: If anyone has any suggestions on improving - or comments on - this set up, I'd be very grateful to hear them. I understand from other posts that, although other capture devices and software may offer filters to improve the capture as it happens, they do not improve things much.

I'd be looking to archive the captures for future re-diting so am looking to produce the best quality possible given the old analogue 8mm tape. Master stream: set to None (the other drop down options are audio and video) In Vegas, the capture setting is 'DV' and on the Capture window Preferences' Capture tab, For info, mine are:Ģ NTSC set up level: 0 IRE - off (as am using PAL)ģ audio: unlocked (understand this makes no difference)Ĥ audio mode: 48khz 16bit (as best option)
Though I don't know what the 'x24' represents - another post said it was purely something used by Vegas and had no other relevance?ģ2 Hz, 16bit stereo (even though the analogue signal is not stereo but I can convert this in Vegas by duplicating the single channel)īeyond checking the 'analog in' light is on, the tiny trip switches on the bottom of the box are its only settings. Key question, of course, is the best setting to use for the box, which converts the analogue into a DV capture which Vegas shows as:ħ20x576x24 at 25fps (I'm in the UK so use PAL) To that end, after quite a bit of research, I have a Canopus ADVC110 with a view to redoing them while the tape and very old cam are still usable.
The learning curve was huge then and now, having used Vegas Studio (v10) and DV tape cams since, I am wondering if the original captures (now long deleted as hard drives were smaller and more expensive) were of the best quality possible. More than a decade ago, I used a variety of graphics and capture cards, and software to cap my analogue Sharp Viewcam (VL-E31) 8mm tapes for editing for DVD viewing.
