Just having problems with set up
Thank you!

WinXP and Win7 are always most stable for capturing.
Vista, 8 and 10 all throw up roadblocks to a smooth trouble-free experience. This specific cards can work in Win8/10, but it's still not ideal.

[lordsmurf]

Very few workflows are now remaining.

Do you have anything at the moment?

What is the status of my workflow without the VCR (that is compatible with AG1980)?

[joshchiodo]

Hey there lordsmurf,

I'm based in Australia and looking at setting up a conversion system. I have a Blackmagic Video card which enables me to input video feeds through to my computer and into software - I'm just looking for reputable markets to grab a quality PAL VCR. Do you have any suggestions?

I would absolutely purchase a workflow from yourself, but I'm only missing a PAL VCR which you unfortunately do not sell!

Thanks,

JC

I have a jvc S9911 Ive had for a while. using cheap vidbox usb capture and not pleased with the results. The JVC is starting to break down on me as well, so Im looking at repair or replacing. I have experienced all the issues you talk about when a less than ideal workflow is used. Never been happy with the results.

Do you have an workflows that would be in the $1200 budget range?

lorsmurf-any TBC's left? After a hiatus I decided to redo my personal VHS conversions-this time do it properly with an external TBC after I read all these posts here. I bought the AG 1980P several years ago and wrote directly to DVD on a DMR-EH59GA-K recorder. Now I thought I would redo those tapes on to digital files and this time do a better job. I guess I am trying to see if an old dog can learn some new tricks. Jokes apart-can't seem to find a TBC anywhere. Thanks for all your help here.

Not true!

Sometimes I do assemble PAL workflows, a few times per year. Anybody seeking a PAL workflow just needs to PM me. The ability to build really depends on the gear available at the time.

Right this moment, I can't built one. Have the capture card, can acquire the VCR, but no TBC. But that could change at any moment.

TBCs currently available are here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/mark...bc-1000-a.html
I also have a waiting list, but I may have to cap it soon.

Better workflow will be that AG1980 > TBC > lossless capture.
- good VCR
- looking for decent TBC
- but what about that capture card?

Panasonic DVD recorders were all pretty ghastly quality, even in XP. So many blocks, off colors, tinted colors, noise, weird artifacts and issues when TBC not in chain.

[Dan316]

Thank you lordsmurf. The workflow you suggested is the one I want to get set up and going and even got my old XP machine out of the closet as well. Only missing element now is the external TBC. Checked the link for the TBCs-guess currently you are out of any TBC(?). Could you PM me if and when you have any you have resurrected out of your old ones? Thanks much.

[ctufts]

Do you still have the external TBC available?

[lordsmurf]

I actually have one extra workflow again.

[lordsmurf]

I have two workflows available again.

[lordsmurf]

Bump.

One workflow is available again! -- and it's a REALLY nice one!

TBCs and VCRs are limited again, which means workflows are limited.

[lordsmurf]

I reserved some gear for a few nice workflows. Get 'em while I got 'em.

I was wondering if I could get a quote from anyone who has the a S-VHS VCR with internal TBC for either renting or selling.

I know some of you may not like the idea of renting out one of these VCR's, but I assure you, I take real pride and care in handling these things like they are priceless. I have two 1960's-1970's 8-track record player combo, my grandmother hardly ever used it and when she passed I asked to keep it. The reason I ask to rent one of these, is I have only two VHS tapes to transfer at the most and buying one of these for $800.00+ does not seem reasonable. Unless someone wants to transfer these VHS tapes for me, but these are the original 1994 VHS from a JC Penny camcorder which is no longer available. I do, however have a JVC HR-S3600U, which I know is not the best of the best.

[latreche34]

It is not about renting, it is about shipping, No one wants to have his precious VCR tortured by the shipping carriers, If the VCR is permanently damaged you may not even be able to find a replacement. What it starts as a rent it may end up with an expensive VCR purchase that doesn't even work.

[lordsmurf]

This is a marketplace listing, not a general discussion thread.

"Renting" a VCR is what I always suggest: buy it, use it, resell it. The gear holds value, you'll recoup costs. The onus is on you to take care of it. Not just care in using, but care in re-shipping. Extreme care in packing, insurance, tracking.

For transferring two VHS tapes, contact us: http://www.digitalFAQ.com/forum/sendmessage.php

An ancient camcorder not being available doesn't matter. Those things were never good as VHS players. Even if the recording was misaligned (a common touted "reason" for using a bad old player), the best option is still to misalign a better deck to match. Noting that misalignment is not something novices should attempt, but rather something that somebody who specializes in restoration (either as hobby, or as pro).

Hi, do you happen to have any workflows in stock? Thanks!

[MarioGuy789]

Since I'm more than likely about to come across a good amount of money, I've finally decided to take you up on one of these workflows. I don't have the money yet but I'll most likely have it within a week or two. Simply put, I'm just interested in the VCR and the TBC, as I have already bought a card from you previously and still have it. In that time I have also acquired a Windows XP and 7 machine, not a great one, but one that will get the job done. You probably can't reserve equipment but I'm just letting you know I'm interested at this point. PM for further discussion.

Thanks.
