At the time, I had made this article for the sole purpose of getting people to stop asking me about how I managed to do said effect for several pals who were utilizing the medium in their videos, courtesy of me, going through the process in a very simple, easy-to-learn manner utilizing the setup I had at the time. Things have changed years later. I no longer use the same equipment I had prior, instead switching to a Panasonic PV-9451 (after my JVC suddenly died). I purchased a Panasonic DVD recorder to act as a 'time-base corrector’, correcting any unintentional distortion caused by my capture devices (more on that later). I've learned of better (although more tedious, depending on the method) ways of capturing analog video and deinterlacing using QTGMC, and I've had to replace my capture device (a Dazzle DVC-100) to a IO-DATA GV-USB2 because of an at-the-time recent Windows 10 update that caused the driver to choke every now and again (and even then, it can still be sort of finicky). All of this, along with me feeling that the original article was way too focused on digital-to-analog video conversion, has made me consider updating this article into a more general-purpose VHS transfer tutorial for those who may be interested. Here we are, multiple years later, with such an up-to-date article. sam (pjfrix) Sun, 27 Aug 2023 20:30:00 -0500 http://park-city.club/~frix/articles/2020/10/23/vhs-conversion-tutorial.html This article has been replaced as of 08-27-2023 and can be found here. As a result, this article has been unlisted. For quite some time now, people have been asking how I make a fairly convincing VHS effect, for example the one seen in Xploshi's videos. I've been wanting to do a little article where I explain that plus a bit more, and so here we are. This is my little tutorial for how I do my VHS conversions. sam (pjfrix) Fri, 23 Oct 2020 16:52:47 -0500
