What’s the best alternative to CyberLink Director Suite 365?
Q I’ve been using CyberLink PowerDirector 16 for years with no problem. I’ve now got CyberLink’s Director Suite 365 and it’s a complete muddle.
Can you suggest an alternative program for capturing VHS video and Sony Hi8 tapes?

A Try the free Open Broadcaster Software (OBS, www.obsproject.com), which captures video from a variety of sources, most likely including the adapter you’re using to connect your video and Hi8 players to your computer. Choose your source by clicking the ‘+’ (plus icon – 1 in our screenshot) at the bottom of the Sources panel then selecting Video Capture Device 2 .
