    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to capture VHS archival footage through the component analog inputs on a Kona LHe card, from a Panasonic DMR-ES35V DVD-R/VHS deck. My problem is that the picture on my capture window on FCP looks “kind” of inversed and very poor (although a feed from the same deck via component on a projector works perfectly). I have tried all available PAL easy setups on FCP5.1.2, but without any success. Does anyone know what could be the issue and a workaround? What about TBC?

    Many thanks anyway : )

    Problem is now solved, I am already capturing 625i uncompressed 10bit for 45 minutes flawlessly so far.
    Now the problem is that I don’t know what the problem was and cannot repeat it… If anybody has encountered similar issues, please let me know..

    Software relaunch and hardware restarts solve a lot of litte weird things that may pop up. I guess you should be thankful you can’t duplicate the issue.

    On the DMR, you can get VHS out of the component? I have the 45 version of that deck and it only plays DVD out of that output. Any special setting, or is it automatic?

    (or maybe its a PAL thing).

    Thanks, and yeah, on second thought I hope this never duplicates!

    As for the panasonic deck, the YPbPr out worked by default both for DVD and VHS and was also listed on the deck’s tech specs.

    Thanks again
