Wrinkled lines aka wiggles in my S-VHS caps, help! |
| veedeo posted 2009 Sep 12 01:16 |
| Hello.
I am using a JVC HR-S5980 to transfer S-VHS tapes to my computer and am having the following problem illustrated in the picture below. 
I have tried with and without my AVT-8710 TBC and have the issue both ways. I am capturing to Huffyuv using a Philips SAA713X based capture card but I don't think the capture card is the issue. From reading other posts, people mention a "line level TBC" could fix this. What exactly is that? Do I need to get another VCR with a built-in TBC or can I get an external "line level" TBC? Will this even fix the problem? Your help is greatly appreciated. -veedeo |

| "need to get another VCR with a built-in TBC"
That's it. Or use a Panasonic ES10/ES15 as a "passthrough" filter. |

| Thanks for confirming this.
I'll try the Panasonic route first and see how it goes. -veedeo |

| That looks great. I can't wait to get my hands on one of those and try it out.
This wiggle is very distracting when watching the video. It's a lot more noticeable when capping S-VHS tapes than VHS. -veedeo |

| You'll get much better compression with the TBC corrected video too. |

| jagabo,
Do you know if the ES18 provides the same TBC goodness? I don't know what to look for in the specs. Nothing mentions TBC: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/620022-REG/Panasonic_DMR_ES ... e_DVD.html I'm just wondering if this is an alternative to the ES15. -veedeo |

| None of them have TBCs inside, that is why. They do have basic frame synchronization, but it's a far cry from a full fledged TBC. The frame sync used by the specific Panasonics mentioned is what you want anyway.
I don't know about the ES18, sorry. There are some members here, however, who should. |
