This is what causes me to think that something is happening either in the demux process or in the (as DVD Complete calls it) the "DVD build" process. Absolutely no synch problems, but when I produce a DVD, all is screwed up. However, I have seen *.mpg files that played perfectly. When I see and hear synch problems there, I know it's hopeless to procede to demux and DVD production.

What I have done is to check the captured video by playing portions of it, especially at the end in WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER. Now this applies to video right out of the VHS machine and into the DAZZLE 150, and to video that flows thru the Pioneer for cleanup. You gotta admit, for the same price you get a reasonable TBC and a good recorder to boot. I can always put the tapes and a VHS player in a closet and wait a few years for TBC products to come in dirt cheap. Right now, I am finding that it works with most of the tapes I want to correct and will contemplate the DataVideo TBC-1000. I wasn't sure of what was going on when I tried using the DVD recorder as video filter. If you're only doing a few, look into renting one and doing all the tapes in one sitting. If you plan to regularly capture off tape, do yourself a favor and bite the bullet and buy a TBC. they will help if the tape isn't in too bad a shape. They don't help with larger errors requiring vertical timing replacement, or macrovision removal.īut. The built-in TBCs on standalone recorders will help, but they're line TBCs and not full-frame TBCs. The bad news: The cheapest decent quality standalone full-frame TBC is the DataVideo TBC-1000, and it runs about $300. Tape is the most challenging of all capturing sources, bar none.Ī TBC stores the video in buffer and replaces all the vertical and horizontal timing with precise, clean timing. All of those play hell with the timing and cause poor picture, dropped frames, constant sync problems, you name it. VHS is a lousy source because of mechanical slop, tape stretch, curled edges, etc. They are problems that can occur with any capture card when capping off VHS. I am podering about getting a fancier Pioneer with built in HD.Īnyway, has anyone experienced these anomolies when trying to back up old VHS tapes with a DAZZLE 150 and how did you overcome the problems I have relatated? I found that the desk top DVD recorders have far fewer problems and may actually do something to the video to make it more palatable to the DAZZLE 150.
The best results have resulted from different players and using that DVD recorder, which I just bought from Best Buy and will take back. Running the outputs of the VHS machine thru a Pioneer DVD recorder. However, some look great, and the problems still occur.
This has usually occured only with my oldest tapes. However with VHS tapes, horror! I get stuck frames, gross losses of video/audio synch, stuccato motion, etc. I use Graphedit to demux and DVD Complete to make the finished product.

I've been making copies of old laser discs and even recording directly off the TV using my DAZZLE 150.
