Advc 300 + tbc

[Tafflad]

Converting VHS tapes to DV AVI

After advice on several sources I bought an AVT-8710 TBC to get the best out of my VHS conversions.

Set up is -

.Panasonic NV-H 800 > AV-8710 > ADVC300 > Sony Vegas capture

-----Svideo --Svideo ---SIEE 1394

Started to use it for first time and very strange result – which is perplexing.

VHS tape has an opening sequence of black, then some title text, after about 10 sec , a then second title screen, followed 10sec later by gradual fade in of video.

If I play the tape .. this works fine.



When I digitized it without TBC all digitized OK, however when I digitized today with the 8710 in the path, the resulting capture has the first title screens OK, but when the second screen comes in the first stays .. so ends up with a text overlay mix.

If I look at frames individually they are correct, but when I play the DV file it’s screwed ….. weird ?

The rest of the video seems to have captured OK …

Thinking it something stupid … I cleaned video heads, and ran capture again … same thing?


Is there something I need to do here …………….. could there be interaction between 8710 & ADVC300 ? or is it something else?


Do I need to turn anything off on the ADVC300 ?
