Weird horizintal line glitches from Fuji Hi8 tape?
 

Hey friends,

I've attached an .avi video sample of glitch / noise / tracking / "digital hits" issue I'm finding with a Hi8 tape I am trying to digitize. The tape is a Fuji Hi8 MP P6-120 shot in 1996. 2 hr runtime.

Workflow is,

TRV615 > ES10 > TBC 1000 > Hauppauge USB Live 2 > VDub. (All S-Video cables)

I've tried playing the tape back on other Sony camcorder as well as a Teac V-800G-F deck with the same results.

I'm curious if any of you have come across this before and if there is a way to circumvent the playback issue. Could it be just the tape itself? :question:

Thank you!

P.S. Also attached is a deinterlaced version with QTGMC, so you can see how it looks in progressive.

It's tape drop outs. Why ES15 and TBC1000 in the same workflow?

I suspect tape dropout ass well.

Your captured audio is weird (VBR?).

ES15 and TBC1000 in the same workflow maybe because his cam has no lineTBC

Sorry if I'm going off topic, but in this case TBC 1000 should not be placed before ES10?
DVD recorder can insert/duplicate frame itself, so, frame TBC placed after could be useless?

Hey, a fellow TEAC owner! I've got a question for you: how does your Video Level meter on the front panel work? Mine is always on "LO". Never the middle arrow, never "HI". Can't find a user's manual, so I dunno what it's really supposed to indicate.

If I'm reading correctly, sanlyn had to include the TBC-1000 because the ES10 would sometimes interpret dirty sync signals from VHS as copy protection and cause his capture card to choke.

I've never had any problem running the output of DMR-ES15 directly into my capture devices. Its generated VSync/HSync signals are always nice and clean. It does re-insert Macrovision when it's detected in the source, but I've yet to find it incorrectly adding MV to a home recording.
