Yeah, I saw it. Looks informative, but I still have questions regarding VHS-C tapes.

As someone who mainly has MESECAM tapes, I can also confirm that my PAL ES10 unit does stabilize on output.

What exactly is an nth generation tape?

I've seen this term being thrown here quite often, but still haven't been able to figure out what exactly defied an "nth generation" tape. Is it a tape that's been copied over and over with visible...

How different are JVC and Panasonic units?

I've seen this statement come up numerous times by LS and many other members, that JVC and Panasonic players differ from each other, but how exactly? Is it the mechanics? Picture differences? Not...

If you'd like to get a unit with line TBC and DNR, your best bet would be JVC HR-S7600AM. I own one myself and I believe latreche34 owns two. It is one of the only decks that can read both 525 (NTSC)...

Should you stack your VCRs, video units?

Often times I see people stack players on top of each other like this:
16410

Is this a good practice? I assume it's not, even when the units are not running, since it puts pressure on them and...

From what I've heard, those tape rewinders, on the contrary, may do more harm to your tapes than good. My advice is to find a cheap "guinea pig" VCR you could use to rewind and fast forward tapes,...

No, the 7600 has no SCART connectors whatsoever. The ES10 does. I used a SCART to S-Video adapter, which I plugged into the AV1 slot in the rear of the ES10, to connect the VCR to it.

The JVC was set to MESECAM, the ES10 was set to PAL. The latter has neither AUTO, nor MESECAM setting, only PAL or NTSC.

Alright, I finally got the ES10 to use as a passthrough and made a test capture today. This is one of the MESECAM tapes I've recorded on that shoddy LG VCR back in 2007. It seems that the ES10...

7600AM, same as yours. Yeah I know it can't play SECAM, I tried. For that I may have to look into an MS unit, but it's low priority, as most of my tapes are PAL and MESECAM. For the latter I'd have...

My planned workflow is as follows:

For SECAM/MESECAM tapes:
JVC HR-S7600 -> ES10 -> FC-400 -> Matrox MXO2 (though I might use an old PC with an AIW 7200 instead)

For PAL tapes:
JVC HR-S7600...

Kramer FC-400 is good TBC?

You see, neither AVT, nor Datavideo units were ever sold in Russia, at least not that I recall (and even if they WERE sold, they were most likely rarer than diamonds and costed just as much). Since I...

What to ask from eBay/Craigslist/etc VCR sellers?

While I understand that this forum's marketplace is a better platform to get your decks from compared to Ebay and its clones, I've been holding on to this thought for quite a while now.

Well, the only option in this case might be the Beholder TV card, as I can't find anything else that'd support MESECAM.

Could this tape damage the VCR?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but I don't know where else I should post this.

I noticed that a couple of tapes in my collection are slightly damaged and have "wavy" edges, as far as I can...

Alright. A tad unfortunate, of course, if I won't be able to find a good JVC/Panny player with TBC support for MESECAM, but I guess that's the cost of having to deal with obscure formats.

I found a manual for HR-S7600AM online ( https://www.manualslib.com/manual/84259/Jvc-Hr-S7600am.html?page=16#manual ) and, curiously, it says that neither TBC, nor DNR works when playing a MESECAM...
