Hello

I start to copy some of my family VHS, and as probably many before me, I come to the point where I need to make some heavy investments .

My current setup
Philips combo DVD ( with s-video and composite out) - I know crap
BlackMagicDesign Intensity Shuttle - for capture
PowerPC - RTX Ryzen and all good stuff

Software:
I use Win10 Blackmagic Resolve(Free) and VirtualDub (some AI software for denoise)

Now my first problem I can buy one of these VCRs

JVC HR-S7711EU

Below VCRs from an old Panasonic service technician so should be in pristine condition.
Panasonic NV-HS950
Blaupunkt RTV-925
Panasonic NV-FS100

or I can invest in software for better denoise and edit (I'm from Europe so TBC are like $$$$$$, not an option ;()

let me know if I can get any better by buying a "new" VCR or software look at the picture and tell me how bad or good they are.

I don't have a big budget only 400$ so let me know in what direction should I go Software or Hardware and which should I buy.

If you can read german language, I would read this tutorial from a german video forum:
https://gleitz.info/forum/index.php?...en-und-andere/

I can only recommend the Shuttle if you record via HDMI using a DVD recorder as a TBC replacement and an HDMI splitter to bypass HDCP encryption.
However, setting it up is not easy. If this is too complicated for you, you should get another capture card.

I would buy the Blaupunkt RTV 950 (with TBC), a Sony/Pioneer DVD-Rcorder from the last generation (LX60,560, Sony 680,RDR200....), Panasonic EH65 or EH495 all with HDMI out.
Or a JVC DR-MH300 which needs no HDMI splitter to remove the hdcp protection if you don't want to capture copy protected tapes.

Could you point to one from the list I gave?


@Bogilein - I would also buy 950, but I can't find it from some trusted source. I will use a translator and try to get as much as possible from the link you pasted.

Thank You all for such a fast response.
