Is this type/level of noise from Video8 tape expected (see attached)? I purposefully chose a dark scene where it was obvious, so it is worse than normal but what I'm wanting to know is whether or not this noise is inherent to the medium or camera. Is there something I need to tweak with my capture setup/settings. I am not worried about restoration and avisynth scripting here to make it better yet, just wanting to check my capture setup.
Equipment:
- Video8 tape
- Sony Hi8 camcorder (TBC On, DNR Off)
- ES-15 Passthrough (Noise Reduction Off)
- ATI 600 USB (via S-video)
-
VirtualDub 1.9.11 (
Huffyuv, no filters)
Thanks
