    Not to offend but could use a better transfer. When I'm capturing Betamax, VHS, or U-matic (all three formats use color-under) I use my DSR-PD150 and capture it to the DV codec. Then I simply process the video using StaxRip and VapourSynth, using a script that uses QTGMC to deinterlace and nnedi3_rpow2 to upscale to 1080p. I should make a tutorial because the results are quite good for UA-cam.

    • @betamaxrebeloutpost8945
      @betamaxrebeloutpost8945 6 місяців тому

      Please do it sounds pretty cool. do you use the pd150 as a bridge to convert to DV codec or do you have to capture it to the tape first? i have a canapus advc-300 but i'm unhappy with the results, it washes a lot of the detail away and adds a green tint to the picture. My pioneer DVR-510H does a much better job but the file is locked on the HD. it has firewire output but i see there's a drop in resolution when i capture direct to pc using Quicktime. thank you

      the disc is mounted flush to the spindle hub, there should be no excessive wobble. There is a slight inherent wobble on the rotary spindel in order for the head disc to acurately scan a track b track.

    Love to see this, done this job as former Betamax technician from C20 to SLHF950 (AEP/Europe models). Recommended to replace the upperdrum (standard handeling for SonyNL) as well because it has changed a little bit in diameter. Without replacement upperdrum the new video heads can be decrease faster than normal. Recently i got Service Manuals from SL-HF100, SL-HF150 and the SL-HF950. (only AEP models).

      That is true. if only we could remanufacture new upper drums as I have quite a large inventory of new old stock head discs. For units I sell refurbished with new heads I'll use a new old stock upper drum A-6760-138-A. but these are getting pretty hard to find, and costly when you do find them.

      ctl track on the tape is damaged. probably faded. maybe try a fastforward/ rewinder all the way thru to help free up any tension. if the tape is super important, might want to try tape baking, see also "obsolete video" youtube channel for more info on this.
