Quality Check for me...

I have two quality checks to do...

Totally Spies, this is what all my shows I capture look like, I think it's good...interlace and all...I need someone to see if it's all good and all...

This is the quality of my Tom and Jerry Kids set, I think people would prefer Phillip's more, because the quality is really bad to me.. SP VHS to Computer is bad...(I think I'll get phillip's set too 'cause the quality is not good, well to my eyes...)

You may want to jack up the bitrate in the future on the TOTALLY SPIES. It's starting to get some noise, pre-block noise. A little less bitrate would puke up macroblocks. I would give it an extra punch of 500k. What are you at now? It'll work fine as a set, the tv will hide some of those flaws.

Your VHS tape is just flooded with chroma noise (that red/blue gooey mist). Pretty bad, yeah. Though much of it looks to be the fault of a cheap or re-use VHS tape. Maybe dirty VCR heads. Again, lacking in bitrate some, especially with all that noise confusing the MPEG encoder.

I'm almost done with Totally Spies, 9 episodes to go out of the 78, and they don't air season 1/2 much...It's a reuse tape, I'm out of tapes, and I don't use tapes much either...It's the exact bitrate that you gave me a while back, when I was asking you about my capture card, and you said 4000 variable bitrate, so I should raise it to 4500?

I would suggest going to the DOLLAR TREE store and getting some of those JVC tapes they have for $1 each, even if you just get 5 of them. Your tape that's being re-used is shot.

If you're already at 4000k, maybe not help much. That sounds like a max, I guess you're not able to raise the average values?

[angelofanimes]

I can pretty much raise anything


I used those options you told me, and even named it LordSmurf

Raise the averages from 3000 to 3500
