One of the biggest problems old VHS footage has is that most of it was recorded on a consumer system. It is bad enough that it is VHS to begin with. Consumer cameras usually overexposed the image and pumped up the color noise – way up, especially red. Try reducing overall chroma in you color corrector, as well as bringing down the reds (if that appears to be the problem). Experiment with overall exposure, gamma and contrast.

Actually, Vegas 7 allows you to preview on your computer monitor and on your external composite monitor at the same time!

Thanks, Peter. Premiere does it all at once, but your method will be handy!

Just viewed “The Mexican American War” on the History Channel. Good job, Shane. A well-told story with nice production values. I’m guessing that the HVX-200 was used in the close-quarter handhelds in the midst of infantry? When will we see your next project?

Check out the most recent “Event DV” magazine – September Issue. Good in-depth comparison between Cinescore and Sonic Fire Pro.

I had a similar capture problem on one of my systems. Reinstalled 6.0d and all was well. Good Luck!

I just downloaded the Kayak on the Nile file; played fine without a hitch on my off-the-shelf home office Gateway system – XP Pro/SP2, Athlon 3800, 1 Gig Ram, Win Media 10.
