Hello again. Thank you, everybody for participating.
I did some recordings and want to share with you. I am ready to do better recordings later with your recommendations.

Gear
EasyCap capture device: I believe it's original version, and I am ready to open up it to check chip serial if it helps.
Laptop: budget Lenovo 5y+ old, Windows 10
Camera: JVC GZ-MG 47. Maximum bitrate, Svideo output
Mixer: Panasonic WJ-MX50. I think it wasn't necessary to use it, but I decided to keep it in chain.
Software
OBS, canvas 720x576. I did custom settings for easycap to make it 720x576 also. Everything else is default for recording.
Scenario:
1. Make recording with camera
2. Connect it via s-video to mixer
3. Connect mixer via s-video to EasyCap
4. Connect EasyCap to laptop
5. Open software with minimal settings
6. Start playback on camera
7. Do recording in software
File names meaning:
"original file.MOD" is file copied from camera memory
"obs mixer svideo capture" obs capture via mixer's svideo output
Also I have virtual dub 2, 64 bit version running on the same laptop. I did raw capture of the same file and setup with default setting and no special filters. File name is "virtual dub capture.avi" 740MB. But I personally cannot see any difference comparing to OBS. Maybe you can help with setting to virtual dub? Or point out diffs.
I did capture for mixer's RCA output also, to check if it's true about poor s-video on EasyCap. File name is
"obs mixer av capture" For my opinion s-video is better, not sure why I decided that RCA output is better on this device, I will check again in different situation usually it has poor colors.
Again I am ready to make more apropriate recordings. and thank you for your help. What do you think about this degradation from original file? Can I get better quality with another gear or software?
