VHS’s look dreadful when capturing.
Ladies and Gentleman.
I’m having to captureing VHS into my Avid (havent had to use vhs footage in quite a while) the problem is i im getting some “color noise” in the picture when i play the VHS .?.? DVD’s, BETA deck, and CAM look fine only when i hook up my vcr’s do i get these slight “color bar things”. It ooks fine when i hook my VCR directly to the TV so its not the tape or the tracking. My video input tool is set to composite as it should, decks disabled. I even hooked up a “combo deck” and the dvd”1/2″ looks fine, but the VHS “1/2” is fugly through the same RCA’s. I’m cant even think the last time i captured VHS’s into a project, is there somthing I have never known. Thanks Spencer“Each One Teach One”

You need to connect a TBC/Frame Sync between the VHS deck and the Avid to get goo results.
If you dont want to spend money on one (though you could probably get a cheap one on Ebay), just dub the stuff to DV or DVCAM.
Then you will have timecode, should you need to recapture at some point. -
My cheap, easy way to have TBC controls over analog material is to run all analog sources through my Sony UVW-1800 Beta SP deck. I have the TBC remote for it. Upon capture, I control the hue, video, setup and chroma levels of the analog sources.
If I need timecode from these sources, I have to dub them to a deck with timecode capability.
