I also acquired a Hitachi Digital8 (PAL) camcorder and can confirm that it looks much the same as the Canon. It's not that it's bad per se but colors are just very muted compared to Sonys, so I think...

Thanks for input and comparison! I see what you mean, the difference is quite small compared to the TRV95e though, imo. Don't you think it looks too desaturated? I actually like the colors of the...

Here is the same frame from the first samples, this time from the Canon V65Hi. Despite not chroma issue like the Sony camcorder, I think it's generally worse. Way more desaturated and greenish.

It does seem a little less noisy but isn't that just because there's more smearing?

Interesting thread. Not sure what to conclude from it. My own Hi8 decks do not, I think, have TBC but I think the Panasonic ES10 does a pretty good job. Still, I don't really know what to think. Ive...

Yeah, probably is like that then. Still, wish I had one. More neat than fiddling about with a camcorder. Also wish I had a friend like 12voltvids.


Similar to the C500e and EV-T2. I lack of...

Here's to hoping the early 2000's Canon camcorders have better components. I also have the PAL variant of the ES6000. Sadly, it's having some trouble playing back tape nowadays. Not sure of any TBC...

I'll get a V65Hi and see if theres a difference. Couldn't find the newer V75Hi right now but I guess the difference is minimal. I hope they're better than the older early-90s Canons. I don't think...

Alternatives to Sony for Video8/Hi8?

Sony obviously made the best stuff but seeing as the supposedly best cameras for the job display a weird green line in the right overscan area, at least with PAL tapes, it got me thinking how...

Check the OP on that thread ;-). It's the very same ES10 thats acting up now. Last time it was just so very consistent - it didn't turn on. Now it's so very incredibly specific; s-video input from...

Well, I bought another ES10 and it seems like the issue is gone. At least they're cheap.

I'll try Hybrid for the future. Earlier today I encoded a video with Vidcoder instead, that allowed me to just specify the size (768x576) while keeping pixel aspect ratio of 1/1. That should be fine,...

But does it make any sense at all that my EV-C500E seemingly can pass s-video thru the ES10 without issue?

Hm, wouldn't surprise. I just find it so very odd that it only happens with one of the Hi8 players. Would the ES15 be better, maybe

Purple-blue image passing thru DMR-ES10?

I got a Sony EV-T2 (Hi8 / VHS combo) player that I connect to my Panasonic DMR-ES10 thru s-video. I've used it before, albeit over a year ago, and it worked fine. Now...

Properly encode with Handbrake?

I'm using AmarecTV to capture PAL video via my Hauppaueg USB-Live2. I use Lagarith for video and "uncompressed" for audio. I then want to make more easily shareable versions with e.g. Handbrake.
