A yellow RCA wire has a sample rate of 14318180 Hz, but when I try to record at this speed, it loads the recording very slowly. I took a wire, plug one end in my VCR Video plug, and the other end in a microphone jack for the computer. Could you please try to find a way to have the app convert certain high frequencies to video? The picture shows a similar wire, but I used one with 3 outputs (Camcorder Jack on one end, Video, L-Audio, R-Audio on the other), not 1. It would save me time, I wouldn’t need to look for a RCA-To-USB plug. The one USB I tried to use mistakenly sends from the USB-To-RCA, and that is the opposite of what I am trying to do. I want to copy videos from a VHS to the Computer. Can Nyquist do this? Do I need another program to do this? If there are programs that do this, could you name a list of some examples? Help would be appreciated.

What was the make a model number? That’s really hard to believe since everybody on earth is trying to digitize their VHS collection, not make new tapes.
I use the Canopus ADVC100. It has time base corrections and stream management so the two stereo sound tracks don’t drift off sync over the course of the show.
As far as I know, the Mic-In of a computer maxes out at 96000 Hz, not 14318180 Hz and most of them won’t go that far. They’re limited to 44100 or 48000. Sound on an Audio CD and video sound.
Video also has other problems. The capture needs to know what’s coming because of sync issues. Where is the top-left corner of the picture and which of the two interlaced fields are you on? That’s burned into the sync signal, but the software has to know to look for it.
VHS also has field jitter, head switching, dropouts, and other tape errors.

An audio input doesn’t have the bandwidth for video. And, you’d need software to “decode” the data to video.
A yellow RCA wire has a sample rate of 14318180 Hz,
Analog signals don’t have a sample rate but Nyquist theory says the sample rate has to be at least twice the signal frequency.
You need some kind of video capture device. They usually come with their own software and most of them will capture the audio and video. Note that many (most?) of these devices “honor” the copy protection on commercial VHS tapes. (Broadcast or homemade tapes are no problem.)
I successfully digitized some VHS’s in the past, with a K-World interface. However the original software it came bundled with didn’t work very well; it was for Windows. I solved the problem by using a generic software for Ubuntu instead. I don’t remember which.
In any case you will need dedicated hardware for that task, not just a wire.
