Unless anyone has a way around that so I can use SVRT, then that option is out.īarryTheCrab, wish I could afford new hardware, unfortunately, I cannot. I later read that you cant do things like change the colors of the video, or other similar edits either. Things like the bitrate, frame with, and frame height are easy enough to keep the same, but it still wouldn't work. (correct me if I'm wrong), but after researching I found that it doesn't work unless every aspect of the video is similar or the same. However, I did try to use the smart rendering option but it wouldn't let me check it at all. Tape capture using 4 VCR, TBC, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.ĭue to a hard drive problem, I haven't been able to work on the project as I was before. Look in your basement people, I'm buying. Top rebuilt VHS players can run into the 5-6-7- hundred dollar range. I have JVC HR-S5912U > TBC-1000 > Hauppage 850 > i7-W10.Ī better model JVC would be advised, but it's a decent model, sort of sem-pro, but no internal TBC.

VHS capture, to get top quality, requires an S-VHS capable player, preferably with Time Base Correction within, and/or an external TBC, a decent capture card, directed to a drive away from the hard drive with your OS to minimize dropped frames. If I capture in Lagareth I have to convert (in PD) to MagicYUV to retain lossless, because PD does not totally accept Lagareth, some enhancements mess with it and the preview fails as well as the render, but it's great for capture. I can capture in Lagareth, Magic, DivX (not lossless), and a few others if I want to pay for them. I then have access to a wide variety of AVI codecs, lossless, huge files which behave better for restoration.

My workflow, if you are interested, is to install PD12 as 32 bit, by removing the 64 bit installer. MPEG is already very compressed and has limits to how it responds to restoration.

Your video capture device may be of inferior quality, $20 capture cards, cheap chips, yuck.īut you own it so bump up the MPEG bitrate, as suggested.

If you have any questions feel free to ask if more information is needed and thanks in advance for any help, I don't know what else to do. Is there anything in the rendering options that may help, or a plugin/patch that'll boost the rendering quality of the videos? I was then going to make the DVD's from those files but at this point, I'm fearing there'll be a reduction in quality again.ĭoes anyone know why this is happening and if there's anything I can do about it? I haven't burnt one yet, I've been producing MPEG's on my hard drive for months before noticing the problem. I need the MPEG-2 format because I'll be making DVD's. When producing, I keep "Fast video rendering technology", "SVRT", and "Hardware video encoder" off because I'm not sure if those reduce quality. Later, when I produce, I click on the profile that says "MPEG-2 DVD HQ 720 x 480i (8 Mbps)" which I believe has the same settings. To explain how I'm rendering these, I'm capturing using the default "MPEG-2", "DVD-HQ". I often zoom into the purple shirt my mom is wearing as well because it has a web-like pattern that looks washed out in the produced version. If it's hard to see a difference, zoom into where it says "Disney MGM Studios" and compare the letters on both images. After you do this, on both images zoom into an area that has a lot of details or fine lines.

I recommend having both versions up on screen at the same time, that may require downloading the pictures, opening them with something like Windows Photo Viewer, then putting one image the left of your screen and one on the right, unless you can manage to view both images simultaneously in different browsers. To notice the difference, you have to look closely. PD15 Original Capture, No Rerender (00:59) The videos look more blurry, resembling a desnow filter being applied, or perhaps a resolution drop.

When that didn't work I went as far as to get Corel Video Studio to re-render the original captured videos, yet it gives a very similar result. I've been working on diagnosing this problem for 2 months now by taking effects off one by one until there were none applied. The quality goes down even when I don't edit the video at all, all I have to do is rerender it by producing and the quality drops. I captured VHS videos with PD15 and the videos appeared crisp (well, for VHS standards), however as soon as I edit then produce the quality of the videos are noticeably reduced.
