Way too much work :( At least my video collection is mostly miniDV.
Unfortunately, the author spent so much time just ingesting and managing the video that he did not get to the fun stuff you can do in 2026: index, query, and restore it.
Capturing off Video8 is no different to capturing off MiniDV, if you use a Digital8 camera.
I shoot on full-size DVCAM as well as HDV occasionally. Yes, it's 576i or 1080i depending on which you use, but you'd be surprised how good that looks with a decent lens and a bit of care in shooting.
The bad old days of de-interlacing and post-production with avisynth. I've shot and watched more videos since cell phones, thanks to the immensely improved UX.

I use ffmpeg. I had a play with avisynth years ago but it hasn't been updated in about a decade.
