I have an older vhs tape of a movie that I can't find has been made into dvd. I need it in dvd format. I try to capture but it does it's thing of being bright and dim etc. What do I need to do?
I believe the "bright and dim etc" is the macrovision protection. (from vcr) For ATI capture cards there are a few solutions, search for a file called "DisableATIMacrovisionDetection.zip" or try renaming/deleting the file "ATITVO32.DLL" in your Windows directory might also do the trick. What I would do, is to use a camcorder (with A/V in, most camcorders have this feature) to pass the video thru, instead of using video capture card.
Don't know anything about the Canopus. Do you have a digital camcorder? If so, find out if it has "video pass-thru" feature. If it does, you can hook up your vcr to the a/v in and output via firewire or usb to pc. This way it will be converted to digital (DV format) and you won't have to worry about "dropped frames". The camcorders I have used ignored, (or did not detect) the macrovision.
is this copy from vhs to dvd or is this capture from the screen i have not done this typ'o capture ,just thought that the vhs /tuner to screen would then be captured by the dvd as a good image another dumb ?????????
