Of course, any lossy codec has a quality impact, but there are ways to minimize it. These records are really important for me so the strict requirement is not to make the video quality ever worse. My aim is to make these videos smaller so I will be able to backup them. The source format is: HuffYUV video, interlaced, 4:2:2 color subsampling, WAV audio. I clearly need to encode them and backup in a safe place (a cloud storage, another HDD, etc., more is better). They are so massive that I'm not able to backup them anywhere. I haven't touched these files since I captured them. So, what's the problem? I have these files laying on my HDD and occupying 120+ GB of storage space. That's why I placed this topic in the conversion forum and not in the VHS capture one.
I don't have any plans to visit this town soon so I need to work with captures I already have. Spent some time capturing and finally I made a bunch of video files containing my precious records. As these tapes are located in another town, I wasn't able to use my desktop PC and was forced to use a laptop together with an USB capture stick.
Since the tapes tend to deteriorate with time, I decided to capture them three years ago. I have several VHS tapes with my family records.
