Hello everyone, hope you have been well!
I want to share a little problem that I have, in hopes that you can help me out.
For around a year now, I've captured countless tapes with my setup (JVC SR-V10U, AT-8710, AmaRecTV)- and there have been no problems. So I took on a job of transferring a set of recorded tapes for a friend of mine; some tapes have bad frame bending at the top that the TBC's couldn't fix. I went and bought a cheap DMR-ES15, and it's done absolute wonders. So I have 2 different transfers of the tapes on my computer, one with the DVD recorder, one without.

As you can see in the picture, there is a considerable difference in runtime between the two, and I have no idea what the problem is. It appears the DVD recorder provides a shorter runtime; and the original is extended. I don't really know what the issue is, since both of them appear to be in sync. I ran both clips in
VirtualDub to scan for any inserted or dropped frames, and none are showing up. Is it possible the original setup without the DVD Recorder isn't detecting inserted frames in AmarecTV? (it usually does after the 2 hour mark which is normal). Can anybody here suggest anything that I can try out to see what the problem is, without sending the 30gb(each) files over?
Another thing worth noting- the common field ghosting problem in the AVT-8710, that problem is completely eliminated once the DVD recorder is in the capture chain. Thanks guys!
