Looking for TBC to clean poor footage from old VHS tapes
Hi there. I'm trying to archive a lot of old VHS tapes that have recorded wrestling content (not pre-recorded) dating back from at least 1989 and throughout the '90s. The older tapes suffer from time base errors. When I try to record the tapes (majority being 8 hours long in EP-mode) to the computer using any USB capture card (see list below), I get frames dropping numerous times. Here is a sample video. I've tried 5 different VCRs in the last 5 months. The best one I've had luck with is the JVC-XVC29. I realize it's not a professional VCR, but it was the VCR my brother in-law used for his more recent recordings and it also has a Video Stabilization feature that helps clean up most of the image problems.
I've tried two different DVD recorders as pass-thru devices, but they made the image much darker, despite fixing the frame issue. I also got my hands on a used Videonics MX-1, but it displays these weird scan lines in the image that were not present before. Here is a sample video of that. For capture devices, I've tried the following: • Startech SVID2USB23 • Diamond VC500 • DigitNOW Master AVcap BR117 I just need it to playback the exact same way it's shown on a TV. I'm not entirely sure what kind of TBC I need, so any guidance would be helpful. By the way, I live in Canada. |
You need to give a price. ;)
