How to correct (filter) older VHS video tapes?
Well my grandpa asked if I can make a copy of the old home movies
EHG tapes were used as well as SP mode. I did have some minor TBC issues first 8 lines were "slightly wavy" was not noticeable on a CRT but I used the HDMI output from my VCR to the tv Yeah my VCR has HDMI output and a digital tuner. but I think I worked it out using my Philips Super VHS machine (JVC Professional series clone SR-V10U) ,it has TBC built in so I was able to transfer it to another VHS tape (also Extra High Grade) I think I ruined the original tape though it's about 22 years old.. the picture quality dropped significantly. after 4 play backs it had two additional drop out that was not there before. not a big deal since I can edit it using the digital file I have. I have a 1:1 copy on DVD-r (and digital file) 2nd play back... the main issue is brightness &/or contrast and darkness some of the video is overexposed (biggest issue) a little is under exposed |
I'm sorry, but that was extremely difficult to read. Your post is disjointed and lacks the standard structure of paragraphs. It appears to be a stream of consciousness.
Please provide a video sample of the file you want to improve. (Attach to forum if it will fit or upload to Google Drive, MEGA, etc.) I would also be interested to know what model of VCR you used with HDMI output. |

I guess(!) that what post #1 says is: There's an old crappy noisy home-made tape shot with a VHS camera. The source has levels, contrast, and exposure issues. The tape was played with an SRV-101U JVC clone (Philips), apparently without its tbc turned on. This tape was played into a DVD recorder (??) that appears to be a DVD/VCR combo with HDMI output (?, or maybe recorded to DVD on another machine). The source tape is damaged. The DVD-R is not a "1:1 copy" as stated (it can't be), but is encoded MPEG2 directly from VHS.
Post #1 was thus deciphered by committee (myself and 3 other people). Best we could do. Others welcome. The O.P. should ask how to cut a brief, otherwise unprocessed sample from MPEG2 and post here, or somewhere. |
there are only 2 good TBC equiped VCR's that im aware of that have an HDMI out
the JVC HM-DH5U and the JVC HM-DT100U what exact model Phillips are you using? ive never heard of a Phillips clone of a JVC SR-V101U |
Are you saying that you can put VHS in and get HDMI out and record uncompressed? Has anyone done it?
|
I don't think he's saying that his Philips SVHS machine (rebranded JVC) has HDMI output. I think the O.P. is referring to a newer DVD/VCR combo that has ab HDMI output. I think. Maybe. I saw some of those a few years back, but they were SD-DVD only. Don't recall who made 'em, though.
I guess we'll have to wait and see if the O.P. returns with more info. |
But I'm curious if the VCRs that have HDMI output for VHS playback do exist.

there are many DVD/VHS combos with HDMI out
the later JVC DR's and Panasonic DMR's as well are the junk Magnavox/Funai units and others as well. they do output the VHS over the HDMI, but it is upscaled and looks not very good also all of these units have crappy consumer grade non-tbc VCR sides - none are Super-VHS - most are SQPB i would not use any on these units for tape transfers. next time i get in the JVC D-VHS unit with HDMI - i will test that out i dont own any kind on HDMI capture device - just never had the need to capture HDMI - what is the general consensus on a good HDMI capture device - maybe i will pick one up - good to have around anyway |
Thanks for the details. I knew I'd seen some HDMI-out combo units somewhere. Just didn't have an interest in them.
Agreed, the tape players in those things are atrocious. There are plenty of project posts in forums to prove it. |
i just got in a JVC HM-DH5U and can confirm it will output VHS/S-VHS through the HDMI port
|
Cool. But what does the VHS->HDMI output look like? Anyway, punker stated he used a "Philips Super VHS machine (JVC Professional series clone SR-V10U)". And transferred from that machine to another tape (!). Details of the other VCR wasn't mentioned. So apparently the tape being worked now is the dupe.
Unfortunately punker hasn't supplied any more details. :unsure: |
