vhs-decode VS HandBrake

No, I’m using an ADC modified for use with LD captures [0]. I did this because it’s cheaper in theory, although with the amount of time I’ve dumped into getting it working and keeping it working, the $500 or so for the Domesday Duplicator may well have been a better choice.

I'm very happy to make the announcement we are migrating not only FM RF but as time permits many full demo sets (RF+TBC+Video+Audio) and full re-masters of tapes from our community and userbase of including but not limted to lost media.

Your going to want to use vhs-decode and FM RF capture standard video captrue has long been supassed in terms of archival and resulting decoded quality.

There's VHS-Decode as well, a small fork specific for VHS, Beta, Video8, etc.

Directly capturing the output, without converting it, will provide the best results. With modern open-source decoders, you can even connect directly to the drum head signal, and capture with no further loss than what occurred during recording.

Furthermore, there are projects that seek to preserve (as accurately as can be sorted out) all of the information that is contained on any given VHS tape, such as this one: https://github.com/oyvindln/vhs-decode

Have a look into VHS-Decode, arguably the best way as its true raw capture and also probably the cheapest for the quality you get, but requires soldering and basic Linux skills. I've mostly stopped bothering with other methods.

But here have a look at Some CVBS Samples the source TBC files can be easily viewed with ld-analyse with the ld-tools for windows too.

There is only one way in the 2020s VHS-Decode & HiFi-Decode

https://handbrake.fr/ its very easy to use.

nothing actually, i just mentioned it as an encoding frontend.

At this point, use https://handbrake.fr/ to transcode into a higher res MP4 and use as proxy footage,

Maybe you could try HandBrake.

The release itself[0] would have been a better link.
