Need a little help with this very poor quality VHS tape. I will tell you that this company (DiscoMixClub USA) released some very poor quality videos back in the early 90's some were recorded by people in the crowd some were just recorded by some pointless individuals who couldn't care less about quality. This one tape I have here is just over saturated with redness and much more it's just one pure bad quality video.
The other main issue here is that the tape is NTSC and I have used a Panasonic NV-FS200 machine, yes I know all the problems this will give me using a none dedicated NTSC machine but I forgot how bad this tape was.
Like I said this tape was recorded using a Panasonic NV-FS200 = Lite-On HD-A760GX connected via s-video/2 phono
I don't want to install any high end software just to try and make this any better it's only one video I need to do so I have installed vd2 something I haven't used in many years. I have tried a few times to get some good results but it's still not what I want. I have tried using different colour filters but the end result is either too dark or I get too much ghosting I just can't fathom what settings to use and I am usually good with sorting something simple like this out.
Now I have uploaded 2 test files one is 1 min 69mb in size the other is just over 6 min 462mb in size the format of these files are MPEG-PS and will play in any decent player. They are cut videos straight off the Lite-on machine, there is also quite a bit of noise on the bottom I haven't cropped them.
