What is your ultimate goal for final delivery formats? |
Thank you, very helpful. Final goal is burn to DVD and distribute to family.
|
DVD is universally playable everywhere in the world on DVD players, BluRay players, smart tv's, PC's, etc., so it's a good choice for final output. In post-capture processing, encoding is the last step after filtering, cleanup, color work, edits, etc. If working with lossless media, those files can be processed and encoded for any purpose, including web posting.

- Hopefully that AVT-8710 is not black, otherwise it has flawed chips that will give you all sorts of issues. - that capture card is almost an ATI 600 clone, similar chips ... though the clipping blacks issue seems to vary, as I don't get that on mine Quote:

It is indeed black... And your reticence towards Windows 10 is well founded - the April update to W10 changed the way video and audio devices are accessed - my Hauppauge device is now no longer recognized... oh bother. |
You need another system for capture, and another TBC.

BAH this project has already cost me the price of the hardware, getting the VCR repaired, countless hours on the learning curve... frustrating...
I see why folks in business to capture, edit and produce finished DVD's charge what they do. EDIT: Ok Windows 10 problem fixed - onward. This is a quest - I feel like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation. |

Alright soldiering forward - Windows 10 is complete crap for VHS capture - just as you all have told me. It simply runs too many background processes that interfere with VHS capture, and you cannot turn them off.
Pulling an old box off the shelf and I will build an XP machine this weekend, but I'm sure it's a PCI and the video card I have is am ATi X1300, which I don't think is what I want for this. I've gone this deep, I may as well keep going and try to find an ATI All In Wonder card. Do I truly want an 8x AGP version of this card (and I will need to find a motherboard to go with it) or will a PCI version do just as well? Would love to find & buy a complete machine with this hardware all set up. |
I thought the ATI X1300 Radeon was PCIe. It's a bit dated but is still very good. It will more than suffice for VHS capture and post-processing.
All In Wonders came in AGP and later "X" PCIe versions that capture just as well, but they all require Windows XP for drivers. Brief history of All In Wonder product line here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/vide...html#post13441. The same thread has drivers and workarounds that work with most models. Just finding a working AIW is one thing, but finding one with all the accessory dongles and connections is something else. They are full-service graphics accelerators, not just capture cards, and they're useless without the cables. Your Hauppauge will do a pretty good job of capture thru USB and has drivers for Windows 7 if you can swing it, which will save you the angst of Vista/8/10. W7 is a good close alternative for XP in operation. Most experienced members here and elsewhere have covered many miles of bad road to get their XP and W7 machines. I built 2 XP's and it was a hassle all the way, so we know where you're coming from. |
