Digitizing our Familiys VHS
 

Hello guys,

I wanted to digitize our old VHS. Little did I know that its get so complicated.
I bought 2 VHS Recorder, Panasonic NV-HD625 and Panasonic nv-sj216,
plus the Rybozen USB 2.0 Audio/Video Konverter of Amazon which included honesttech VHS to DVD 3.0 SE.

Well I tried and the results were absolutely unpleasent. First off all the process was long and the quality kept changing randomly. I cant get rid of my old VHS with such a bad digital copy so I'm looking for a better way to do this and I hope you can help me out here.
I bought an old Hauppauge 350 pvr but my windows 10 doesnt recognize it. So i put in an old harddrive and installed windows 7 32 bit. Still it looks like theres no Hauppauge 350 pvr.

Well what can I do? Is the Hauppauge 350 pvr any good or do I need to buy something else? Whats the easiest way? I want good results but it doesnt have to be the best results so I dont wanna spend too much money and time.

I hope you can help me out

Right now, you're buying random items, and getting random quality. For example, that old PVR-350 was a decent card 20 years ago, but MPEG only, WinXP only, and results would be unacceptably blurry on modern large HDTVs.

Also realize that video doesn't really have grades, like comic books: Mint, Near Mint, Very Fine, Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor, etc.

Video has: Bad, Not Good, and Good Quality
You're currently in Bad.
Not Good is a small bump in quality, but will still look miserable to most folks.

Quality is mostly about the hardware used. There are some shortcuts in gear (always done for money reasons), though with quality hits that drag you back down to Not Good. However, when it comes to the good gear: buy it, use it, resell it. With that understanding, money should be less of an issue to many folks.

First step is this: how many VHS tapes?

At least 30 VHS maybe a bit more. If it works properly I’ll maybe offer to do this for some friends aswell.

What would you advise to buy/set up? Reselling is of course an option.
