Thanks for the replies. As per LS, I suspect corrupt samples on tape.

I forgot to say it's a ProRes file and you need to be able to step through it frame by frame. On a Mac, QT can do that with...

Sony RDR-HXD990 or similar?

If I can't get acceptable quality out of my system, I might take you up on your "take a crack" offer. About half the tapes are NTSC. Hans Vonk worked in Europe until the mid 1990s, and then at St...

That appears to be the case, but why don't the developers of capture devices do the same? If a TV can do it, why not a single capture device?

A more modern TV
I've just tried viewing the tapes on a more modern, 19" TV. It has a HDMI input so I suppose it's about 10-12 years old. All tapes played beautifully through the composite input.

I have a capture device that has Component inputs. When the DMR ES15 is used in passthrough mode, does the signal appear on the S-video and Component outputs at the same time?
