I realize I’m late to this thread, but if you’re serious about archiving a VHS in the best manner possible, you have to go the RF capture route: github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode
This method effectively captures the “raw” signal stored on the tape, allowing you to convert it after you’ve captured it however you see fit. You don’t have to worry about cheap digitizers/capture cards/etc distorting the signal.
