Recording stutters

[AndreasAndersen]

My recording of an old VHS tape "stutters" (not sure what the exact term is) a lot when digitalizing.

I am using a Panasonic NV-HS860 (with in-line TBC enabled) -> VCAP800 USB (s-video/composite same problem) -> OBS/VirtualDub

Viewing the VHS tape on my TV works fine, and running the s-video output to a Sony HandyCam TRV240E works fine as well (viewing on HandyCam screen). But when running through the capture device the video stutters like the attached example.

Should I get another capture device like for example the Pinnacle 710 USB or perhaps IO-Data GV-USB2 or Hauppauge usb live 2. I am not looking for the best quality just something that doesn't stutter

Thanks in advance

Try to force the color system to PAL (if it's a pal tape) rather than AUTO, should be in the menu somewhere

I found the setting for "TV System" in the VCR and put it to PAL instead of AUTO but it doesn't really change anything.

Try to connect your usb card to the best usb port. If it's a tower its on the back otherwise read the mobo manual
