The reason is, I'm always on the lookout for more modern capture solutions.

Yes, it is clearly visible in those examples (red is great for chroma sub sampling tests), so its likely a driver bug as a newer revisions I posted today fixes it. One thing eMPIA hasn't done is post...

I did some digging on the various ezCAP sites. I'm putting this up mostly because its an even newer eMPIA driver then the VidBox one and doesn't have the chroma sub-sampling bug. These are from...

Its the curse of 90s Sony 8mm tapes. In my case it was almost all Hi-8 tape stock. Some of the tapes were even the "fancy" evaporated metal (ME) type formulation and they had the same problems.
