The deck appears to support DV format input over Firewire going by the manual. Logically it'll be no different than using S-Video from a MiniDV camcorder to the VCR.

Yeah, DVHS really wasn't a big thing with PAL. That unit doesn't even support HD recording. The deck is perfectly acceptable for analog transfers though having the TBC/DNR.

NTSC machines can not play PAL videotapes. The HM-DH30000U doesn't digitize its analog tape playback over firewire either, the later models added that. They all digitize standard definition analog to...

Biggest problem you'll run into with newer CRTs (2000s) is the build quality. They were built like crap and usually just up and died after just a few years. Older sets usually have capacitor problems...

Was there any buzzing in the soundtrack when the glitch occurred? 8mm uses AFM audio recorded with the video heads and any tape dropouts will result in audio problems too.

The postings were kinda vague, just that the tape transport looked similar. Otherwise it appears to be just a standard consumer grade deck.

Nope. JVC released one PAL D-VHS model and that was it. No HDMI, just firewire and component output.

What brand were the tapes? I've had trouble with early 90's Sony Hi-8 tapes in particular.

Check the capstan speed. If the circuit controlling it is going on the fritz, it'll do weird things like that. Sony Betamax decks had that problem due to bad caps on the capstan motor control board.

I just used the AVT-8710 to convert from composite to S-Video when I did Beta tapes. Betamax decks with S-Video are extremely rare and expensive, so composite is the best you'll do. Other options are...

Either way works. Video isn't expected to have square pixels. HDV does the same thing, 16:9 1920x1080 video is stored on tape to 1440x1080 and stretched by the playback device.

It's National VCR Day! What's your favorite VCR?

No, not National, the brand of VCRs by Panasonic. I actually saw a sign for this on the way to work. I have no clue who came up with it, but apparently its a thing.

The tape is recorded using an anamorphic widescreen signal. Whats more annoying is when a station transmits a 4:3 program with pillar bars anamorphic (I'm looking at you Heros & Icons).
