Using wrong settings, but got good VHS capture?
 

So I've had my gear for a while since I was accumulating it over the past year or so, but didn't have any tapes to convert this entire time lol. My family finally did a road trip to visit me so they finally managed to get me the tote box full of old family films, so I tested out my first capture last night and got 0 dropped frames in a 2 hour capture, but 480 inserted frames. This was with the recommended settings from this post:
https://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vid...-settings.html

However, I noticed that I had to change my capture settings to be the opposite of what that post says in regards to what settings to set when using a USB capture device like the ATI 600 USB2.0, mainly this part:
Attachment 20510

With those settings, I got the 480 inserted frames and the audio was actually out of sync.

HOWEVER, when I messed with the settings, I found that I would get 0 frame drops AND 0 inserts with these settings. The audio was also perfectly synced all the way to the end and the video itself looked good from what I could tell.
Attachment 20511

The biggest culprit was the Automatically disable resync when integrated audio/video capture is detected. When turned on, would cause all the inserted frames and audio to get out of sync.

So I'm wondering since everything looks and sounds good with these "Incorrect" settings, if I'm doing something wrong and it's actually just hiding drops/inserts or something? Or should I just keep using these if it's working well, despite them not being what is recommended for USB capture devices as mentioned in that post?
