I'm in a similar situation trying to find the best video capture option for VHS/Betamax, £200 max. Didn't want to open a new thread as I understand people ask the same question regularly on here. Reading all the way through, I found out that Magewell chose not to activate the 3D comb filter in their product, although there is one available in one of the chips used. I stopped following the Magewell thread before it ended. I haven't heard that it can fix tearing/flagging as well as the DMR-ES10 does, but it does seem to be designed with SD capture in mind. It has a built-in TBC/Frame synchronizer that works. SD capture with the Magewell Pro Capture HDMI is apparently not an afterthought. About US$50 is all you need to spend for VHS capture. And any resolution advantage they may have is wasted on low resolution VHS - you just get sharper noise.

Both of those classes of devices often choke on the poor time base of VHS (though using a full frame TBC or frame sync will take care of that). Or they are old professional devices that only work well with pristine video sources. The more expensive devices are HD capture devices with SD capture added as an afterthought. Price doesn't necessarily equate to quality with VHS capture devices.
