Welcome, the house rules, introductions — start here

Getting your video and audio tapes into digital — the conventional capture chain: decks, capture cards, TBCs, S-Video, OBS, lossless. (Raw-signal RF / vhs-decode is in Decode Lab; photos, slides and film are in Light Table.)

Scanning your photos, slides, negatives and cine film — flatbed and film scanners, DSLR scanning, the right resolution (DPI), and telecine for 8mm, Super 8 and 16mm. Everything optical.

Mould, sticky shed, "no signal", dropouts — rescue

RF capture and vhs-decode — the deep end: tapping the raw signal off the heads and decoding it in software. Deck choice, RF taps, CX cards / Domesday / MISRC, the René Wolf amp, and the post-decode workflow. (For the conventional capture chain, see Capture Bench.)

Help, bug reports and releases for the DdD Capture Toolkit — batch RF-capture-to-archive for vhs-decode

Backups, storage, file formats — keeping it for good
