It means that for VHS, Y and C have to be separated by the capture card (if VCR connected in composite) or before, like I tried with the dvd burner used as intermediary.
And the quality of this separation varies from one device to another.

ColorYUV(analyze=true)
I tested but the results look very close and depend on the frames (values change from a frame to another), so it's hard to make a conclusion.
I cropped black borders ;
crop(16,2,-6,-24)

Don't forget that my question also concerns the TBC quality (you can compare both composite extracts).
