That may explain the green 'bottom' on the picture Please.ĪFAIK PAL 60 has 480 lines (576 for regular PAL 50) and lower bandwidth than PAL50 for video color and signal carriers. Why are you selecting PAL60 ? That is a special mode for some devices to capture NTSC tapes on PAL equipment - unless your tapes are NTSC and your equipment is PAL. I think this is basic 'setup' for VHS 'digitizing'. Encode the video in some more common play codec DVD-(Mpeg2),Blue ray (Mpeg4), MKV (Mpeg4) and burn it or copy it to flash drive for watching it on modern LCD and Plasma TV. Repair video 'errors' and use some 'cleaning' of noiseĤ.

Use the best setting for capturing ( I prefer losless video in vdub 720x576 PCm audio)ģ. Connect the VCR to the 'equipment' on the PC sideĢ. I'm very thankful for any and all tips and help regarding this matter.Įasycap (and other usb 'tv cards') excluding the brand names ones like Ati, Avermedia, Blackmagic and others seems ( majority of members thoughts ) that is very bad low quality garbage ( no hard feelings).I noticed on the picture that you posted, that you have svideo ( black cable) and composite video (yellow connector) connected at the same time maybe that is the problem try unplug one and see how it goes.Ĭoncerning 'digitizing' the VHS there couple of steps.ġ. So my question is, how can i possibly get the video feed to work properly? I mean it *should* work properly if the sound does too, right? Is the capture card possibly a faulty model needing replacement? This is what the video feed looks like in VideoView when i chose 'PAL 60':īasically just a still image with a lot of artifacts. I briefly got the audio to work there with the honestech application, but the video feed won't show up no matter what settings i try. I also tried Magix Easy 4HD on my main PC yesterday but that gave me a BSOD after a short time of fiddling around, and since the capture card seems to have issues on Win7 anyway i switched over to my laptop. So far i've tried three different applications on the PC i'm using for this, a trusty old thinkpad running win XP - They are 'honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 SE' (this was the one that came with the capture card), WinAVI Video Capture and a program called VideoView. VCR Recorder -> Standard Scart to RCA Adapter (3 RCA Plugs IN/OUT) -> LogiLink Eas圜ap RCA to USB capture card -> PC

I've gotten so far as to bring the analog audio feed from the VHS to my PC, but the video feed won't work no matter what i try.

This is the first time i'm trying to digitize a VHS, namely some old family tapes from the '90s.Īfter one day of screwing around with this i've pretty much run into a dead end.
