  Weak pulse, patient dead?

  Posted by Norman Frizzle on February 19, 2006 at 4:37 am

  I have legacy analog projects 20-plus years old. I am systematically transferring them to digital, but many are in bad shape.

  My process has been to transfer to DV using my camcorder as a VCR. The sych pulse signal is very weak on the original. While digitizing gives me a timeline I am able to edit, I suspect that extremely slow rendering to MPG and/or system crashes while rendering to MPG are somehow the consequence of inconsistencies between actual frames and the pulses accounting for them.

  If I lay down a track on my DV tape BEFORE I record unstable video over it, I obviously won’t sove the problem of my video’s instability, but would it at least make it’s accounting agree with my compressors? [I’m using Media Encoder.]

  One solution is to put a signal stabilizer in line with the video feeding the camcorder for pastthrough, They are cheap Time Base Correctors and sync rebuilders, there are differenct models made by Sima that run between $60 and $100, B & H carries them.
