  OT – Pulldown, resolution & TV Screen Size

  Posted by Allen Zagel on November 18, 2007 at 3:19 pm

  I copied a VHS tape to a DVD using my ‘new’ Panasonic ES25 recorder that I’ll be using for my legal video work.

  PIcture was perfect in my monitor, but when I played it on my newer 46″ LCD HD TV it looked horrible. I’ve got an upconvert DVD player on the home theater system also. Not pixelated just really fuzzy.

  So I took it downstairs here to my old Panasonic 23″ Tube TV and the picture was ‘perfect’.

  Can someone explain what’s going on here and if there’s a way to fix it? The VHS tape was an old movie recorded off the TV many years ago, so it’s not a commercial VHS Tape.

  Thanks
  Allen

  I’m not surprised at the poor quality.
  You’re taking something that was marginal to begin with (off-air VHS) and making it 4X as large (2H + 2V).
  All I can suggest is maybe a bit of noise reduction.
  Try the free one from Mike Crash or the paid one from Neat Video.

  Thanks Mike but I already own the Neat Video. Problem was it was an automatic process done without the computer. In my monitor connected to the DVD recorder, the picture looked perfect. It also looks quite good on my 23″ Panasonic.

  I can capture a few minutes into Vegas and see what it looks like there, if it even needs noise removal.

  I did a video for a friend that did have a lot of noise in it visable. Exactly like one of the photos at Neat Video’s web site. So I used Neat Video to process the noise out. Nice video but it was taking 3 days to render and still wasn’t finished. I couldn’t tie up my etiding machine for a week or more to render a video HA HA and it’s a 3xgHz machine with 2GB ram. huh!
