How to Convert VHS to MP4 using Aimersoft Video Converter Ultimate There are two steps necessary for the conversion of VHS to MP4. First, you need to burn VHS to DVD then convert from DVD to MP4. Also, you will need to record the VHS tape and a suitable capture card is important as well. Video format Mac Software: H.264 at 1.4 MBit/sec or MPEG-4 at 2.4 MBit/se. Video format PC Software: H.264 at 1.4 MBit/se. Audio: AAC, 48kHZ, 128 kBit/sec. Best is to look for a second hand Grass Valley A/D converter (or a mini dv camera with analog in). It will capture your footage in the best quality possible.

Diamond VC500 USB 2.0 One Touch VHS to DVD Video Capture Device with Easy to use Software, Convert, Edit and Save to Digital Files For Win7, Win8 and Win10. 3.9 out of 5 stars.
I recently ordered a set of videos that I remember from a few years ago that did not make the jump to DVD, unfortunately.
I do have a VCR; however, I never have it hooked up because…why would I?
The solution here: convert my VHS tapes into H.264/MP3 mp4-contained files.
Now the question is: how?
Hardware ¶
I managed to grab an EasyCap D60 Recording device from Amazon.
This device is supported inside the linux kernel (from version 3.18 forward…maybe?)
Once I plugged in this device, it was working:

I found a blog where a person does this. I have a vauge memory about doing this at UpSync, so I'll give it a shot: 2-pass mp4 conversion.
Let's see what happens!
The settings above created an mp4 that could be played via x264 on a RaspberryPi 3.
