I'm trying to make sure that my raw captures are suitable for encoding.
My current setup is: Japanese VCR -> GV-USB2 -> Amarec
I reinstalled GV-USB2 drivers (after device issues) and now the correct frame rate option doesn't appear in Amarec, it shows 59.94 fps rather than 29.94. (All interlaced captures)
As a result I have captured 3TB of 50+ hours of footage in the wrong frame rate. Recapturing everything correctly will take a lot of time. Prior to this, all was captured fine in 29.94. Something happened inbetween.
Main questions:
Settings in Amarec and GVUSB2 are as follows:

I've looked into the driver issue and have followed instructions to resolve the issue (reinstalling/rolling back the device drivers) and like others it didn't work out: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/411694-IO-Data-GV-USB2-112-Driver-Minimum-Capture-fps-is-50
In terms end goal, I want all my footage to be converted to 59.94 to achieve that buttery smooth look. Another issue I'm struggling with is encoding workflow: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/417773-Best-Hybrid-settings-for-encoding-broadcast-vhs-captures
(I generally just want to convert these to 59.94, soft noise reduction, correct aspect ratio, compressed to reduce space).
:confused:

Main questions:
- Is there a way I can convert this existing 59.94 interlaced to 29.97 interlaced? This would save me from recapturing.
- Are there any workarounds to get Amarec to capture in the desired frame rate? Virtualdub is out of the question, like many others there are sync issues using modern hardware.
