So then you need to capture with that device. If you do it with OBS-studio, it’s going to be x264 encoded file. Capture it with a high bitrate, say 3Mbps (for vhs resolution that’s a fairly high bitrate).
You can transcode that afterwards to be DVD compatible. I used ffmpeg for that purpose.
ffmpeg -i capturedfile.mp4 -f dvd -c:v mpeg2video -target pal-dvd -b:v 4700k -bt:v 4000k -pix_fmt yuv420p -g 12 -bf 2 -trellis 2 -s 720x576 -b:a 192k -c:a ac3 fordvd.mpg
Then used that resulting file in DVD Styler as the main title, but without reencoding.
Add chapters, etc, create a menu if you wish, but I made “single-movie DVD”.
That worked for me perfect.
Note that this is good for PAL, if you want an NTSC DVD, you need to tweak the settings.
You may want to tweak the bitrate settings too.
My source was progressive because of the way OBS captures.
