Hi all,
I have this tank of a machine and I am please with the image quality and its features.
I did some captures with this machine connected to my Canopus ADVC 110 via s-video and rca audio connections (red and white). At various points in the captured file, the video and audio skips, rendering the captured file unusable. I tried fiddling with the numerous buttons and sliders on the front drop-down panel (I have no remote) and cannot get a useable capture.
Am I missing something? Is this a known problem with this VCR?

Hm. I gather you're capturing VHS tapes? I thought Canopus cards were used to capture to lossy formats like DV-AVI. Usually we'd recommend against capturing VHS that way, but suit yourself. You might get more help if you let us know more about what format you're capturing to. If the VCR plays OK to a TV or other device, the problem likely isn't the VCR.

I don't think that's a recommended VCR. See http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...ing-guide.html
Define "skips".
I also do not think the VCR is at fault here.

The given model # might be a typo. HR-S800U, but should be HR-S8000U ? ?

Yes, it is a typo. Should be HR-S8000U. Sorry about that.
I do have the Intensity Pro capture card, but it's a little finicky and I do not like to rely on it too much. The DV-AVI files are fine for my purposes.
By skipping, I mean that the monitored video and the captured file will have very small portions missing that are present on the tape. Another VCR I have has no such problem, so that suggests the HR-S8000u?
I like the features of the HR-S8000U and that's why I wanted to try to use it for capturing. But if it does not work out then no worries.

your setter presumably delivers no perfect and time-steady signal
DMR ES10 or DMR EH595 insert

I presume your purposes are PC-only playback. Few in this forum recommend VHS to DV capture, unless you don't mind noise that's difficult to remove and blown-out video levels, and the Black Magic line is an unnecessary problem with VHS and many players.
For playback on tv, external players, web, authoring, etc., you'll have to encode DV again and take a quality hit.
