Oh, those diagonal lines are actually normal, look up "combing effect." It's because interlaced video is being played on your progressive monitor. If your footage ends up on a playable DVD or BluRay...

I think the DAW prosumer cards could have very low jitter & latency with precision components which I'm guessing can help with capture.

But to your point if there's no discernable difference then...

Well, the bargain cards are the older PCI-based cards (such as the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz or prosumer cards from late 90s) as long as they work. I'm using a Windows XP PC that's over 15 years old so...

The ADCs (analog to digital converters) used in higher-quality soundcards are upgraded - they have less quantization noise & more SNR (signal to noise ratio); provided the soundcard is in good shape....

To add to what dpalomaki, hodgey, & msgohan have already stated, I think it's great you have the original tapes and the original camera; if you can hang on to them longer that might be a good...

Thanks for the tip, haven't seen bad caps with a visual inspect; but so far the PC's working.

TBC = time based correction

Lots of info on this forum, you'll need an external one to correct frame timing and one in the VCR to correct the scanline timing.

Daisy chained the TRV-66E to the NV-FS200? Hmm.. Maybe. They're both line TBCs, maybe there's a synergistic effect there if you notice a difference. I guess it just depends on what errors you're...

Does composite work ok? I wonder, "pin 4" of the S-video cable carries the color signal (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Video), maybe something gone awry in that area, but I'm just guessing.
