Opry99er Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hey bud... I think I have a spare VCR in storage. I'll know for sure when I get in there in a week. Perhaps I could pick one up at a second hand store for you for a couple bucks. I'll stop by one Wednesday and if I can pick one up for less than $10, I'll grab it and send it your way.

kl99 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi Ciro! The better PAL vcr machines are able to view NTSC tapes and output it as NTSC or PAL60 which you can capture then. Klaus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl99 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ciro, you have to set the capture card video settings the same as the output of the VCR does. VCR typically outputs pure NTSC (3.58Mhz or 4.43Mhz) or it transform the NTSC signal into PAL (3.58Mhz or 4.43 Mhz) for better compatibiltiy. Even if the tape is NTSC that doesn't mean that the VCR outputs pure NTSC. In the VCR manual you will find information how the VCR outputs NTSC tapes. Do you capture via Cinch (Yellow/Red/White) or Antenna (don't do that)? Usually in the settings you have stuff like: PAL-G/PAL-B, PAL-60, NTSC 4.43 Mhz, NTSC 3.58 Mhz, 720x480 (NTSC Output) or 720x576 (PAL Output), 25 fps or 30fps (->50/60 interlaced).

ti99iuc Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well, in the professional studio where i gone i hoping they know how to do a captureing from VHS... anyway they tried all the setting possible... i have not manuals for the VCR... and no other VCR to try... i tried to capture via SCART and Cinch... on TV i see in Color and in Capturing i see in BW... all settings and 3 different programs tried... the problem could be the capture card... it's a pinnacle MovieBox... i should try with another capturebox or a VCR NTSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
