Record started, the file has no video (black screen), I think it's OK.
I tried with other recording commands to be sure but didn't change any
set-up then I did a second try:

I tried few times I got the same error.
I don't know what has done the issue.
I reboot the desktop then try again.
Now no error. Any idea what has caused the issue? Where I could have a
look if it happen again?
So I try my original command and I have some questions at the very bottom:

AFAIK, yuyv422 is better than yuv420p. I tried to use yuyv422 but I have
the error:
Incompatible pixel format 'yuyv422' for codec 'mpeg4', auto-selecting
format 'yuv420p'
What is the codec I could use the get 422?
4- I'd guess you have huge knowledge on VHS video tape conversion.
I have S-VHS tapes. I have a JVC S-VHS player with TBC.
Is my ffmpeg command good to get the best quality?
What codec, container do you advise?
After conversion, I'll use a simple video editor like Kdenlive for basic
video editing.
Many thanks
