Hi there,
as i still have a lot of VHS and even Hi8 bands in the shelf, i'd like to convert them to digital video.
Problem: S-VHS recorder and Hi8 camcorder still working, Mac Mini (2015) and MBP (late 2014) available - but no analog video converter yet. I've been looking for several devices, including the Elgato and Tivi ones, but none of them seems to feature good image quality and compatibility (either 640x480 and badly compressed H.264 or 720x576 and even worse MPEG2).
So all i need is a decent video grabber with USB or Thunderbolt - which does not seem to exist. This can't be that difficult, can it?
