Using Sony CCD-TRV65 to Panasonic DRM-ES10
 

Hello,

How good of quality DVD(for DVD or Blu-Ray playback) will be produced with this combo?

Sony CCD-TRV65 HI8 camcorder using an S-video cable and RCA(red & white)cables hooked up to a Panasonic dmr-es10 DVD recorder? I will not be editing anything, just want to preserve the family HI8 tapes to a safer medium.

Thanks!

The recording quality of the ES10 is very blah . The deck is best used for its passthrough feature, meaning the signal only "passes through" it, from the playback VCR to the later (in the workflow) capture card or (another) DVD recorder.

It's really a 2-hour-mode-only type recording unit, if used to record.

But didn't we agree that Panasonic DMR-ESxx produces posterezation artifacts?

Thanks for the info guys! I will not be using the Panasonic dmr-es10 for DVD recording. I found a JVC DR-M100S unit. :)

Yes. But tearing is worse than posterization. :wink2:

Restoration is about making it better, not perfect. And sometimes better is exchanging a worse error for a better one. I can live with posterization, but I can't live with tearing. And that's the only real reason to use the ES10: to remove tearing.

I don't understand. This person uses Sony CCD-TRV65. To the best of my knowledge every Sony Hi8 camera has an option called TBC. Why not put TBC on on Sony camera instead of going via DMR-ES10?

Internal TBCs may not fix tearing. That's why.
You have to understand that not all TBCs act the same. There are many kinds of TBC.
