No. The easiest thing to do is forget about listening to the tapes while capturing. VirtualDub's Enable Audio Playback option often causes problems itself.

Unplug the cables from the back of the...

Stupidity, mostly.

Fantom has had the 2tb models for about 4-5 years now. It started off GD2000, then the model numbers changed as the product was slightly renamed (GDP2000EUS, GD2000EU, etc) and...

That's an excellent drive if you want USB3.
I prefer the eSATA drives, which currently only has USB2 --- but I never use the USB aspect anyway.

The pitch should not be changing. That implies you have the sound running to your sound card instead of the ATI 600 and/or have VirtualDub misconfigured. "Sync audio to video" is the setting that...

The goal is always to:
1. capture as best as possible first -- that means a good S-VHS VCR, etc!
2. whatever cannot be fixed in hardware, must now be fixed in software

Premiumcapture has it right. If you open a YUY2 AVI in VirtualDub and apply filters (most of VDub's filters work in RGB32), by default VirtualDub saves the output as uncompressed RGB. So click...

Rakuten is the former Buy.com. They owned several things for years, and are as reliable as Newegg or Amazon. That said, I prefer Amazon for mist items. I prefer the Amazon return policy. It's better...

Why I still buy Blu-rays and DVDs

The future of television, as the industry would have us believe, is streaming. Youtube, Vimeo, Netflix. The future of DVD/Blu Rays is iTunes and similar services.

Yep.

And sometimes AVI files will have 2-3-4-5 (or more!) passes. Some errors require certain programs. Not everything can be done in one. Sometimes the same filter has to be used 2-3 times....

Sorry to be the one to disappoint you, but that is not Super 8 film. It's Reel-to-Reel Tape. What's that you may ask? It's audio...not video. If...

Holding the tape with your fingers isn't ideal, but it's better than most option. The best would be those photo gloves and archivist gloves. Never, ever metal anything.

Yep, that was it! A late 1980s or early 1990s TDK. I hate those screwless tapes. This tape has more issues. Getting it open was the easy part.
