Firstly I must say I am doing this as an interest/hobby, if I wanted the best possible conversion of some old family VHS-C tapes I would have gone to a professional. As it stands I am trying to capture as best I can and over the next few months I will be playing with the output.
Although this is my first post, I have read this and many other forums extensively and I am grateful for the knowledge I have absorbed.
The hardware I have to play with is:
- Panasonic SVHS NV-FS200
- Panasonic DMR-ES10
- Datavideo TBC-1000
- ATI AIW 9800 SE (Shuttle XPC P4 3Gh CPU, 2GB RAM, Win XP Sp3)
I tried various combinations but have ended up with:
NV-FS200 (TBC OFF) -> DMR-ES10 -> TBC-1000 -> ATI AIW 9800 SE (VirtualDubMod - PCM/
Huffyuv)
Anyway, the issue I am having and one that I haven't managed to find a name or explanation for is this:
Bright colours, particularly whites like the sky, are florescent.
Weirdly, this seems to apply to most of the VHS-C tapes I have, but not necessarily every recording on each tape.
I have found some similar issues, but none exactly like this.
Thanks in advance, would be nice to put a name to this problem so I can investigate further.
