You're quoting me wrongly. As jPO correctly says above, these devices can capture analogue composite video - it's just that its timebase must be technically "stable". I use a variety of devices for this purpose, the most reliable of which is a G2 MSTC (Multi-Standard Timebase Corrector), which takes an input from unstable composite and YC component input sources and then rebuilds each frame in sequence to ensure that they conform to spec and to the requirements of the BM capture hardware device. The TBC and the source VTR/VCR each take a reference signal from a central Sync Pulse Generator which means they're all singing from the same hymn sheet (so to speak!).
Interestingly, although TBCs are now becoming rare - even on eBay - there are new products from companies like TV-One, and I have a couple, but they're not robust enough to handle very unstable sources and playback where there are holes in sync. These complete drops in sync can throw the cheaper, less robust, TBC out and force a capture to abort. A good TBC is really vital.
Sorry to add to your equipment acquisition list but until BM builds in a good TBC circuit to accept composite video inputs it will be a necessary external process. I was very disappointed to find that even a Teranex (Express, 2D and 3D) can't perform this simple task and is a massive oversight in my opinion.
Blackmagic Teranex 2D, Ultrastudio Express, Intensity Shuttle (Thunderbolt), Two H.264 Pro Recorders (Mac OSX) & lots of old VTRs used for digital archiving of legacy video formats for major libraries, broadcasters, universities and public archives.
