I have long since forgotten what files Premier encoded the VOB files to - I was just happy to be able to stick the DVD's in the vcr and they worked. When I used only the vcr's TBC, that's when I got the best results - strangely, and disappointingly, I didn't get as good results turning off the vcr's TBC and having the Datavideo running.
But it seems when I ran them together I have massive shaking. I have a JVC HR-S8900U VCR, which has a TBC built in as well as a separate Datavideo TBC in the loop. (could I substitute, using a cable with the proper connector or via a FireWire hub?) I could still use my ancient PC, I suppose, but was hoping I could use my iMac, as it is much faster. And my iMac has the 9-conductor Firewire port but lacking the 6-conductor port that came with my Canopus ADVC. edDV, stupidly, I did not save my DV-AVI files - just still too inexperienced at the time. I'm very rusty - having to brush up on my video terminology. Thank you all, Vidd, jman & edDV, for your replies - VERY helpful. You may want to have one tape transferred at a premium dub house so you can compare to your current result for the same tape. That would probably smooth out the "shaky" portions but also stabilize the pixel alignment for better filtering and/or encoding.īy DVD do you mean you stored your DV-AVI capture files to DVDR data discs (20 min per layer)? Or, did you encode the DV files to MPeg2? If so, at what bit rate? You should also be backing these up to hard disc media.
The main improvement would come from a recapture with a full frame TBC in the path ahead of the ADVC in the capture chain. Deinterlace is highly destructve especially with non-timebase corrected VHS.

The Mac works fine with a Canopus ADVC if your iMAC has a Firewire port.Ī key issue is keep the archive interlace.

This would be particularly an issue with a Mac OSX that isn't easily huffyuv or Lagarith compatible. If you saved your DV-AVI files from the Canopus ADVC capture, you won't get much improvement capturing to a different format.
