  Copying old VHS-Tape

  Posted by __peter__ on June 30, 2005 at 9:09 am

  Hi,

  I have a very unique recording of historical value (for us) I have to rescue on DV.
  There are many technical errors on the Tape which I can’t change and would therefore accept.

  But the DV-Deck produces complete dropouts and much heavier errors as there are visible on my source VHS tape. I guess the “sync” is lost or something like that. Whats the way to get I over to DV as it looks when viewed on a simple VHS player. There you’ve got flashes but no complete dropouts.

  Some kind of amplification in betweeen ?

  Thanks for every idea!

  Peter

  In effect you need a Time Base Corrector to achieve this. There are many products on the market that can take an analogue source and give a stable DV output via firewire to feed into a none linear editing system or even a DV camera. There are equally as many that can give an analogue output too.

  We regularly use an ADC 100, which has analogue (composite and s-video) in and out and DV in and out.

  Thanks so far …. if there is no other way, I have to ask someone who has a timebasecorrector 🙂
