ℹ️ Overview

The purpose of this wiki is to help you take an analog video signal and make it into a digital file.

There are a few different types of analog video signals. This wiki will focus on Composite or CVBS (NTSC or PAL depending on your region), S-video (Y/C), and Component (Y/pB/pR).

The two main methods we will cover are Rescanning, which involves pointing a digital camera at a screen displaying the analog signal, and Direct Input Capture, which uses a specialized analog-to-digital converter device to take in the video signal and record it or send it into a computer.

Both of these methods can yield high quality results, but they each have their pros and cons. Here are some things to consider that may help you decide which one is right for your project.
