I have an old VHS player that was laying around for a while. Recently, I bought Elgato video capture adapter and I wanted to digitize the few tapes I have by transferring them to my laptop.
Fast forward until I inserted the first tape into my VHS: after pressing play, the tape starts properly in the VHS player (although no image was yet shown on my laptop). One or two seconds pass and the video tape stops rotating (please see video below, it's easily noticeable). I repeated the same thing with two or three more tapes, and the same problem happened.
I know that the cause could be related to many things, however, I'm enthusiastic about trying to fix the player myself. Can someone help me to pin point maybe one or two things which could be the probable cause for the problem?
Thank you.
