Thnx for all the great info in here. It has helped me to capture my own movies and VHS tapes.

I have a question relating to blurry "fast movement" scenes in my converted VHS tapes. I use high bitrate, single pass encoding of my AVI files in mainconcept encoder (1.4.2) and find that a smooth moving picture in the AVI file becomes slightly blurred once in mpeg2.

I use all the recommended settings, and wonder if this is maybe just "normal"

any ideas welcome


(I use my Sony digital 8 camera with a dazzle firewire card to capture VHS with the analog passthrough feature.)

The Blurryness in fast motion scenes could be related to Interlaceing...Maybe try the Deinterlace Filter in Mainconcept and see if that helps with the Blurryness...
But even if the Problem is Interlaceing it shouldn"t show up on your TV set as your TV set is Made to Display interlaced Video were your Monitor isn"t....

I too recently purchased the TDK Indicapture device, primarily to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD.

Thus far the only capture/record software that I have found, that recognizes the device, is ShowBiz(included with the device - not too great) & WinDVD Recorder 5 (seems to do a good job, so I am using it for capturing video from VHS at the highest quality). I capture/save in Mpeg2 format.

For burning to DVD I use CloneDVD2, because it allows me to split large Video_TS files by chapters, and thus burn one (long) movie to 2 disks without loss of quality due to compression. This I have done before with copying 2+ hour DVD's. I don't mind having to change disks halfway through a movie.

Now, herein lies my problem:

Using WinDVD Creator 2 Plat for authoring, at the "Make Movie" stage, if I choose the 1 hour DVD format option, it chops off the 2nd half of the movie. If I choose the 2 hour DVD format option, it compresses a 2 hour movie to fit a single 4.7Gb disk, rather than leaving it uncompressed. I am, of course, referring to the Video_TS output files.

Is there any way to get WinDVD to output to Video_TS uncompressed? Or is this just overkill on my part, & a 2 hour VHS can fit on a 4.7Gb disk without loss of quality below VHS quality?


Alternatively, if I use TMPGEnc DVD Author 1.6, with optional AC3 decode filter, to author the movie, the output Video_TS files are uncompressed, which is fine.
Unfortunately, when I play back these files, the Audio is out of Sync with the Video.

Is there some way to fix this sync problem?


P.S. If anyone knows of any other recording software that works with the TDK Indicapture, please post here too. Thanks.
