The B.E.S.T setting on the jvcs will adjust deemphasis/sharpness depending on tape signal (and possibly also adjust noise reduction settings) so it can result in tapes being overly soft/look...

PAL isn't sharper. The few extra pixels once digitized make no difference.


No, this is wrong. The LG is fake boosting sharpness, the main sign is it adds halo/ringing. It's harder to see on...

eBay is a mistake, and can be quite costly mistake in Europe. Don't waste you time on somebody's broken crap. It's neither "tested" nor "working" as claimed. I recently tested this myself, and 85%...

Always s-video, never component.


No, the reason is because the native tape data is Y/C (aka s-video, separated video, which keeps Y and Cr/Cb separate). Component is essentially na RGB, even if...

S-VIDEO output is preferable; YUV output darkens the image, and should be corrected in the input levels option. If the signal is very poor, or if you fast-forward too long, everything becomes dark...

Those Blackmagic cards are awful with SD sources, being made for HD. SD was a lousy afterthought feature, and BM even admits this. They themselves state that TBCs must be used. But even with TBC,...
