My grandparents are downsizing there collections of turds and gold and they want their homemade movies archived. I was thinking of a component capture card with obs. What would be a good capture card or a better way to archive?

UPDATE 1: So, my DVD vhs combo was a total piece of shit and ate my Addams family Vhs tape!!! I found a vhs player that works and looks pretty decent.

I bought a black magic intensity pro capture card (BMDPCB41G1) but I'm struggling to get the driver to recognize the card, I tried win10 but I'm gonna try Ubuntu and an older 4th gen intel motherboard. This is all I have for now, any help would be cool.

A photography shop near me does this, might be worth to compare the price of buying your equipment and figuring it all out or just having someone do it for you

But that takes the fun out of it and my grandparents just don't trust anybody with their one copy of a wedding video

Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.
