Back in the day, when I made DVD's (as a hobby) I had this truly great video / capture card. One of these; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404110929956
New computer and that type of card slot vanished so I used a Hauppauge PCI card for a few years: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/365436493332?...=view_item
New mainboard and old style PCI slots went from three down to one. Not a lot of use if you also had a PCI sound card.
The same applies to memory - consign it to the junk box and also operating systems. I have a 2005 scanner, No good for Windows, the last working driver is for Windows XP.
My ancient Epson V200(*) works very well with my Ubuntu 24.04
