My Parents (Since they are Really Bad at Tech) Want me to convert their old VHS Tapes to digital formats.
I Don't know much about video formats (Composite, Component, HDMI, etc.) so I bought this: http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=498
I then found out it only accepts component input when VHS is composite.
Then I bought these two (because straight composite to component is $500 +)

They didn't work.
I don't know if they are both broken or if its only one, but the aver media still wouldn't get a signal.
So my question is, what is the best way to convert VHS to a digital format without quality loss?
Is a capture card the best way to do this in the first place?
I don't mind returning everything so i'm open to any solution.
