in reply to: VHS to DVD
Copyright issues aside, the best way I have dealt with VHS is to capture through a Time Base Corrector to basic DV. You go the usual DVD route from there. But you have to make sure you have the rights to the footage, number 1.
I have noticed a “watery” effect on footage to which the smoothcam has been applied, but never to what you are talking about. I would trash my prefs if I were you.
Assuming you mean you can see a timecode bar say, at the bottom of the screen, one way to get rid of that is to blow up the clip and move it down. Image will suffer a bit but hey, it works.
