A video capture device is a piece of hardware that lets you transfer audio and video from a VCR, camcorder, or other devices, to your computer so that it can be stored on a hard drive, whether for editing or just general archival purposes. For example, a video capture device can be used to convert VHS tapes to a digital video format that you.

I use this one. Very similar looking hardware, but it's the software that makes or breaks these products. I looked into most of them to replace an old converter that only worked with FireWire.

The VC500MAC comes with RCA and S-Video inputs and also uses a USB 2.0 interface. Any device with a composite output such as a VHS player can be used to transfer video and audio to your Mac or MacBook or Mac based PC.

They've replaced the Empia software with a 64 bit plugin that links to the QuickTime Player. It's the bottom link of the downloads page (the red button to the right of OS 10.15 64bit Driver).

I would always use Maximum to get as clean a capture as possible from tape. You'll get a very large file, but you only need it for as long as it takes you to make a DVD. Anything you use video editing software for to get the captured video to a playable DVD is rendered as MPEG-2. That adds yet more compression. So the cleaner (less compressed) capture you can start with, the better the final DVD will look.

It's also half the price of the El Gato device. The only thing I need to mention is I haven't tested the new 64 bit capture yet to see how well it does.
