TBC, Proc Amp, ???
The issues I had were most about working on a PC that was a bit too weak for this kind of stuff...I donīt know if you know what I mean, but there were glitches and a static screen here and there. The VCR itself was good enough (and is still used for that matter) to make crystal clear Audio-transfers from VHS, but after I had the standalone and was happy with what I got, I just stopped transferring DVDs with that one. Got a new PC after that as well, and not having been the quite experienced and technically interested person I soon was to become via TTD and others, I have no clue anymore what capture cards and stuff I used. If it helps, hereīs a lineage from one of the few good captures I made:

Lineage: unknown tripod-cam (on soundboard) > Master > VHS (one audio-channel only) > VCR (JVC HR-J593) > transfer to HDD (via Ulead VideoStudio Movie Wizard) > MPEG > encoding and editing (via Ulead VideoStudio Movie Wizard) > DVD (2006-09-26)
