Getting movies in Pan & Scan is annoyingly hard. I'm just gonna have to buy a bunch of VHS tapes and digitize them, I guess.
Maybe some occasional early "full-screen" DVDs on ebay. Those'd be easier to rip.

  @foone I'm looking to start digitizing my VHS collection. Do you have recommendations for tooling/output formats for archival storage?

  @grumpy not really. But I will say that using an RCA->HDMI adapter and USB3 HDMI capture seems to be a lot easier to set up and has equivalent quality

  @nicholas that sounds like a lot of work for even one movie

  If you're going to go through all that effort, why don't you just mix your own pans and scans from easily found letterbox versions?

  @ryanfb @grumpy I've been intimidated out of using this project given how many RF capture points you need to have to do it comprehensibly. VHS is annoyingly complex compared to laserdiscs

  @grumpy @foone VHS-Decode (forked from Laserdisc Domesday) looks pretty interesting from an archival perspective, not least being you can store the raw drum head signal and reprocess it https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode
