Using Elgato Video Capture for VHS tape conversion on iMac (2017) running High Sierra (10.13.6). The application's preferences lists two video format options: MPEG-4 and H.264. Have attempted to change preference to MPEG-4, but ensuing files are still rendered in H.264 format. Have trashed the application and downloaded and installed several times. Still getting the same result. Also, there is a feature that designates the length of the movie. The same number of minutes that was originally set continues to show up after several attempts at downloading and reinstalling the application.

Searched in preferences folder and nothing shows up for Elgato. In the "old" days one could trash the preference panel for the application and solve this problem.

Any input is welcome.

P.S. Apologies if this should be in the video forum.
 
AFAIK it is the same codec (if you google it).
I think I used the default and then exported as quicktime .mp4 format.
