What playback device(s) are you using for these tapes? Are you putting the VHS-C in a VHS adapter and playing it in the exact same deck as the VHS copy? What brand/model of VCR/camcorder are you...

IIRC he needed to add the ES15 because he was getting weird artifacts when using the camcorder's line TBC + AVT-8710. He found that disabling the camcorder's line TBC resolved it, so he picked up an...

I think among TBCs the AVT-8710 is the one that is prone to overheating and causing issues.

IMHO, you can keep the TBC-1000 powered for as long as you want to do actively use it (doing captures)....

For simple stuff (for instance, saving just the needed clip(s) from the ES15 captures), I think you can just use Virtualdub, but for inserting and stitching you probably want to use a nonlinear...
