Trying to copy some of my copy protected VHS tapes to my hard drive and I was wondering what type of digital video stabliizers will work for this. Many that I have seen on Ebay say they will not work with capture cards. Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/DIGITAL-VIDEO-STABILIZER-VHS-VHS-DVD-VHS-DVS-...

Any help will be appreciated.

I don't know anything about that listing on eBay - but not quite sure 'not compatible' means. I can't imagine why it wouldn't work - my limited knowledge of these things are: signal goes in -> 'it' filters some stuff out or 'enhances' it -> filtered/enhanced signal goes out.

How would 'it' know that the output is going to a TV or capture card (or some other destination) ?

Having said all this - i've used one of these:

before with good success to 'enhance' the quality of the video stream going into my capture device. It is farily reasonable price - probably just consumer quality - but that is all I am asking for.


YMMV

It "stabilizes" "pulses" in the video that digital recording devices recognizes as being protected. Some older vcrs take care of this on there own. You can find at a pawn shop,garage sale. google to check which models to look for. I use dvd redpro even on unprotected digital recording. Helps being kicked off by dvdrecorder or capture on computer. Good investment. Good luck

The best but most expensive choice is to get a full frame TBC. The recommended ones are the Datavideo TBC-1000 or the AV Tool AVT-8710. TBCs not only remove macrovision completely but also stabilize the video input making the result better then the original. One upside to these TBCs is that if you decide not to keep the TBC when you are done you can sell it on eBay for the same and sometimes more then what you paid. The best prices can usually be found at B&H Photo Video (sometimes lower then eBay especially after most sellers? exorbitant shipping fees).
