New discovery in video capture field?
This guy thinks he discovered a new capturing method:

Most of that guy's Youtube videos are filled with misinformation and myth. He's such a nitwit. He makes lots of Youtube videos, but he really doesn't know squat about video. He's only able to convince newbies of his "knowledge", while the rest of us see it as the BS it is. Even a casual hobbyist knows he spouts nonsense. I like how he uses tech terms like "capture thingy" and "digital spitter outer thing".
His sample captures has loads of errors. Ugh. :rolleyes: Just remember: any moron can make a Youtube channel. And many do. |
lol.. couldn't stop staring at his Trinitron Mask T-shirt

I've watched some of his videos and they are actually not bad but he completely screwed up on this one. In the title he claims the easiest way which is some how true but he is giving the impression that this method gives the best possible quality which is totally wrong.

The main issue is this guy obviously has a "Google degree", meaning all of his info is just found online on random sites. He parrots nonsense like "VHS won the format war because of porn", which is revisionist myth (that likely started as a joke in the 90s or 00s). I'm usually much kinder about people with wrong info, but somebody like this does more damage that not, his info could be considered dangerous. He repeats completely false and inept ideas.
He mispronounces tons of things on his videos, and uses random descriptions (apparently lacking in knowledge of actual technical terms). To me, that's a tell-tale sign of when to ignore somebody as a non-expert playing expert. The dude is young, and I think most of the video tech he talks about predates him. So there's zero expert knowledge going on. No idea himself, no consultation with others -- just mind vomit. That's not the proper way to do an editorial or documentary. And he's dismissive when you point out his wrongness. Example: Quote:
Deinterlacing (lost quality), no TBC with timing wiggles. That what he remembers? :unsure: |
I replied to the Youtube video. :cool:

I replied too but I pretty much said that if your mom and dad were watching VHS tapes using a crappy VCR hooked up with a yellow cable it doesn't mean that you have to capture them that way. I don't think the crowd in the comments understand a word of the technical terms you mentioned above.

He still doesn't get it. Just can't seem to work his way out of those little YouTube boxes, either.
Most of his readers won't get it either. |
What I mostly see in that last video is "it's best because I bought it". Standard defending your purchase nonsense. And then dismissive of any actual facts.
Much of the Had the video simply been "Best quick-and-dirty method to grab VHS clips for Youtube", he'd never have gotten some of the correction and de-mything. But no, he chose to proclaim the method as bestest ever for transferring all VHS video. And that was his downfall, because that's just plain horsepuckey. I'm more amused that he had to spend hours, to make a 30-minute video, to backpeddle. Like watching a clown on a unicycle. Maybe he'll juggle for us next? The irony here is I'd probably use that quick-and-dirty sort of method for grabbing small illustrative VHS clips for Youtube videos. An S-VHS VCR would handle the output quality, and the input would be fine for a 5-second clip. For example, you'd just be showing a shot of The Lone Ranger or Roy Rogers or something, on a 5-10 minutes video about a western topic. Video can be a PITA at times, especially when doing edit work that mixes sources (PAL/NTSC, SD/HD). I knew about that "new method" he found years ago, he just didn't get the memo. Yay for him, he found a new toy, but he got overeager and made a video that was hyperbole. |
You should see his video when he made a comparison between VHS and Betamax total nonsense.
