One of the vcrs is a JVC HR S7800U, so it has a TBC, which certainly helps, but it might be overmatched. I was looking at getting an ES10, even ordered a remote for it, but ended up getting the JVC...

Tearing: is fixing it a lost cause?

I'm trying to salvage a video from 35 years ago, but it has some major tearing/flagging/whatever you want to call it at the top for the first few minutes before it mostly settles down into more of a...

(I thought I replied to this already...maybe I imagined it!)

Anyway, the tape hasn't broken, not yet anyway. I've loosened a couple of screws, but the final 3 have decided they don't want to...

Can an old VHS tape be loosened?

One of my old standard VHS tapes is one of those extra-long ones, T-160, I think? In both of the regular VHS machines I've tried it in, it seems to kind of drag, for lack of a better word. I've run...

These tapes would be the ones that were edited TO from the raw camera tapes, then used for on-air playback during newscasts. As each tape gradually filled up, it would go on the archive shelf, and...

I'm fairly certain what I'm getting after I tweak the tracking is NOT Hifi, or stereo at all. And on the rare bits of video where I CAN hear some audio without tweaking first, it doesn't seem to be...

This is a full package from the tape.

In the case of the "no audio" version, what I did was simply insert the tape in the vcr and let the JVC deck do its auto-adjustments. The picture...

Another option for S-VHS audio capture?

(This is sort of related to my previous question about DVC Pro capture, as it pertains to the old news archive tapes at my TV station.)

Before we used DVC Pro, we used SVHS for news operations. ...

Missing convertformat.dll for Avisynth?

I've recently started toying with Avisynth. I haven't gotten much of anywhere on it so far, just running a simple filter or two. I've perused some old posts here on processing VHS tapes, and I...

I don't think there are any commercials on any of the news archive tapes, unless they were part of a news story or something. There might be a few complete newscasts including commercials lurking on...

We have 2 or 3 of the portable decks and two of the full sized left; I only know for sure that 1 of each works; I haven't tested the others.

The archive tapes are the 64 minute variety, and are...

Archiving DVC Pro: best method?

I work at a TV station that used DVC Pro for everything from ENG to regular programming from 1997 till maybe 2009. In that time, they amassed maybe somewhere around 2500 DVC Pro tapes, give or take...

Mitsubishi HS-MD3000U good for digital transfer?

One of these caught my eye, but I understand they don't work with LP or EP tapes. I do have a large number of SP S-VHS tapes to transfer, so it would be useful for that (assuming it's good in...

Panasonic DMR-ES10 for parts only worth it?

Hockey video too hot/blown out?

I've got some old tapes of minor hockey games I want to digitize, but for some reason, the video level is completely blown out when I try. The lines on the ice are barely visible; it looks like the...
