How to digitize VHS and Hi8, and convert interlaced video into smooth 50p/60p for Youtube

📼 Transfer VHS, Betamax, Video8, Hi8 and other analog recordings to a computer and convert them into silky smooth 50fps or 60fps video that you can upload on Youtube.

I do not promote Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 100 as the best device for analog video conversion, I just use it as an example it this video. The DVC 100 is good enough for how much you can buy it for on eBay, but if you want something better, I now prefer I-O Data USB2, you can buy it for about $50.
