I have see recordings and is it full om macroblocks, even on 1024x576 at 15000 kbps but if i change it to 50000 kbps, al macro blocks are gone.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

maybe it is better to buy a DVD (HDD) recorder with RCA/Scart in connector? (so can direct connect the VCR without scart to HDMI converter.

Holy shit crap efen a DVD recorder puts analog into more crap.
720x576 and 4489 kbps MPEG2, and full of macroblocks on most part. Terrible!
If i'm not false this was a Sony recorder, otherwise a Panasonic. otherwise it was at least a Samsung, although I don't remember that
However this is not from a VHS but from analog TV (but that in some way the same, only a higher resoltion)
The second is from the Samsung recorder, if i'm right.
In some way the HDMI stick is better, at least there are no macroblocks at 50.000 kbps.Last edited by anonymoustly; 16th Mar 2024 at 07:00.

That bitrate would be near the minimum threshold of what you can use for that resolution with MPEG2 encoder. You'd only set it that low if file size is concern. If the macroblocking is too much and you need to maintain smaller file you need to decrease the resolution. If file size is not a concern set the bitrate higher.

Like lodsmurf says MPEG-2 can still be fine if implementation is used correctly.
I'm still happy with my recordings

Yes, and to stay in "capture topic" here a comparison of a HuffYUV capture versus its MPEG-2 real time variant at 10MBps:https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/412589-What-is-good-enough-when-capturing-video#post2714905

9.2Mbps is decent enough for me, quality is perfectly fine for a VHS from 96 the same goes to all other recordings I do on a HDD recorder from VHS.

@ rgr
I wasn't saying it wasn't good enough for everyone else but it's good enough for myself. I have been capturing VHS tapes since the early 90's I have had every capture device you can think of but when Lite-on released the lvw-5045 then later the a740gx & a760gx I have used a HDD recorder it's just been less hassle and much easier for me to use than having to mess about changing PC's all the time.
Most of the VHS tapes I record are from 1987 to 2002 and all are still in very good condition.
