Avidemux Forum

I have a very stupid question, probably... Sorry if this adressed elsewhere and I didn't find it.
So, we need to digitize some VHS, we have a camcoder that would work as a pass-through. Would Avidemux be able to capture the stream? (...If not, does anyone have a tip how to achieve this, like, can FinalCut do this (I don't like FinalCut, it keeps on puzzling me) (iMovie is gone from Mavericks)?)

Avidemux does not have a video capture function.

OK, thank! (It's better to ask and make sure)

I'd also try saving a short test clip with the same settings first. If that works but the full video doesn't, it can help narrow down whether the issue is related to a specific part of the file or just the output settings. It's a quick way to troubleshoot without waiting for a full encode.
