Best approach? Online viewing + editing for DVD?
Hello All,
After spending a couple months designing and building a DIY VHS cleaner (Which is working FANTASTIC!), I am up and running. I've been capturing like crazy but I wanted to be sure I'm handling it in the most efficient manner possible. First, many of my tapes are moldy and need serious cleaning, some are in good shape and transfer easily. My primary focus is digitizing the tapes for online viewing so they have to be deinterlaced but I am also keeping an original capture of all my tapes for making dvd's as well. I'm very confident in my workflow as I have a TBC-3000, 2 TBC-4000's, an HD-2000u, SR-VS30U, 2 1980's, and a custom-built Windows XP system with TBSC, 9600xt, etc... My current process takes a very long time, even without applying filters so I wanted to check with you all to be sure I'm not spinning my wheels since my current approach takes many hours per tape and VERY large files. I just purchased a 6TB hard drive but even that is filling up quickly and I've got close to a hundred tapes to go. My current process:

DIY VHS cleaner? Pictures, please! Interested. :)
Looks to be all good gear in your capture hardware workflow(s?). ;) Software workflows: 1. Capture (lossless suggested). 2. Edit/restore. 3. Encode prep. --- MPEG: mask overscan, NR --- H264: crop overscan, NR, deinterlace (QTGMC suggested) 4. Encode. (For H264, for freeware, Handbrake semi-lousy, Hybrid suggested.) 5. Delivery. --- MPEG: author DVD, burn --- H264: move to HDD/online storage for watching access This process is relatively the same, home or pro. |

I intended on posting a separate thread at some point and will eventually do a full breakdown on a blog I have but here is the summary of it. I spent a good deal of time researching and dissecting pictures of Tapechek systems and their feature set. As usual, I started off small and then expanded on the concept which is why something I intended on taking a week or two turned into a couple of months.

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, opinions, suggestions on my system. Here is how I've ran the system:

Here is a video of the cleaner in action. Keep in mind, the UVC light pass-through chamber isn't running and is in the upright position and the right tape reel isn't properly routed along the guide roller in this clip.
