There are other cards, but it depends heavily on Windows OS version used. Easycap earned the nickname Easycrap, and is literally a $2 Chinese USB card that sells for huge markups. (And yet, Elgato makes some decent non-video products.) Elgato earned the nickname "Elcrapo" for video cards. Even with TBCs, it drops/dupes excessive frames. You will have nothing but problems trying to use it for any SD capture, like VHS. Magewell and Blackmagic surely make decent HD cards, but the SD performance is pathetic. Those were made to kinda-sorta hit-or-miss-quality connect a video game console, or really old DVD player, to a HDTV. Is there a decent AV to HDMI converter No. I'm on a budget and I can't afford things like a Kramer VP-410. Is there a decent AV to HDMI converter that would give great results with my capture card? I also have PCI express slots available on my computer if there's a card that would do it. I have those HDMI capture cards that could be useful in the process: What VHS player that wouldn't cost me a leg would be recommended for VHS ripping in 2021? To make things worst there's no stereo out on my VHS player, so I guess I'll need a decent player at the source if I want minimum results.

And upscaling a VHS, is there really a benefit to this? Also it doesn't really make sense speaking of PAR as the output signal is 1920x1080/59.95 and ends up in a 1440x1080/59.94 canvas. Even OBS is unable to deinterlace the video. I can still see interlaced footage in the resulting progressive footage. Seems like I'm obligated to use the internal 720p or 1080p upscaler which make no sense to me as the signal is interlaced. I went to Canada Computers and found out this RCA to HDMI converter.
