My grandparents are downsizing there collections of turds and gold and they want their homemade movies archived. I was thinking of a component capture card with obs. What would be a good capture card or a better way to archive?

Depends on your budget. If quality is important, you need at least decent VCR. High-end models might be difficult to obtain, especially those made stricte for digitizing (very expensive). Look for something with S-Video output if possible (better than single RCA), and from computer end… maybe Black Magic Intensity Pro 4K card? Comes with Resolve software. Alternatively you also get a cheap RCA-to-USB adapter, and that will work with most capturing software, but the final quality might be… well, cheap.
I do have an Sony VCR DVD combo with s-video. I was look at the black magic cards on eBay and there are some from 2008 from a Mac and I’m wondering if they will work on Linux.
