u/The_Vista_Group ยท 1 pointr/VHS

I have solved this problem for myself. New iMac instead of MBP, but still using a USB-C port. It may seem a little intense, but this method works, and it works better than any cheapo Chinese VCR to USB dongle you can buy online.

Here's the hardware and software you'll need to get a good capture:

Hardware

  1. A VCR with yellow, red, and white composite outputs. ($10-60 Goodwill online)
    If you're looking to just capture the VHS, ignore all the uber-elite perfectionista online. Get a working VCR, and clean the video heads if you feel confident enough to do so.
  2. Canopus ADVC-100 or ADVC-110 ($80-100 eBay; I'll sell you my working ADVC-100 for $70 shipped to USA. Msg me.)
    This is the box that your Mac will recognize as video playback hardware, and that MacOS will support for capturing without paying extra for software. Worth the price, I promise you. This is the investment part of the process, and is what enables your Mac to even see your VCR. This is the most important piece of hardware.
  3. Composite cable ($7 Amazon)
    Don't be tempted into buying composite to HDMI/DVI/USB/USB-C/Thunderbolt. Plugging these into your VCR then into your Mac will result in failure -- your Mac won't detect that it's connected into a VCR. You'll be plugging this into your ADVC,
  4. FireWire 800 cable, 9-pin to 6-pin ($7 Amazon)
  5. Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter ($29 Amazon)
  6. Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter ($49 Amazon)

    Capture Software

  • Quicktime Player (Free, included with MacOS)

    Hooking Everything Up

  1. Plug in your (#1) VCR to power. Test with a TV that it functions properly.
  2. Plug in your (#2) Canopus ADVC-100/110 to power.
  3. Plug your (#3) composite cables into the "out" ports on the back of your VCR.
  4. Plug in the other end of the (#3) composite cables to the "L - Audio In - R, Video In" ports on the Canopus ADVC.
  5. Plug in the (#4) FireWire 800 cable to the back of the Canopus ADVC.
  6. Plug the (#4) FireWire 800 cable into the (#5) Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter.
  7. Plug the (#5) Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter into the (#6) Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter
  8. Plug the (#6) Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 adapter into your Mac

    Capturing

  9. Power everything on.
  10. Make sure your Canopus ADVC Input Select is set to Analog In
  11. Insert your VHS tape and rewind completely
  12. Launch Quicktime Player
  13. Click File -> New Movie Recording
  14. From the dropdown arrow next to the red record button, choose "ADVC-100" or "ADVC-110" for Camera and Microphone
  15. Press play on your VCR
  16. You should see the movie playing back (it might have a black screen for a few seconds, just wait)
  17. If/when you see the movie playing back, rewind all the way
  18. Hit play again on your VCR
  19. Click the red record button in Quicktime
  20. Quicktime will now capture your VHS tape!
  21. When complete, click the red record button again in Quicktime
  22. Click File -> Export As -> (the highest resolution available, should be 480p)
  23. Save your file
  24. Done!
