Video 8 capture but tape is not centered
Hi, I'm capturing my old Video8 tapes via a Canopus ADVC55 unit and WinDV. It mostly works okay.
But I have one problem, on some of my videos the tape isn't centered. That makes the picture shift right to left slightly causing a slightly blurred picture. It can be easily seen by watching the right or left black edge. Now I wonder if there is some good solution to this, either by a commercial program (ouch) or some filter to for instance VirtualDub? |

adjust tracking? the tapes were probably recorded with different tracking, or on a different device.
apart from that you could hunt down a TBC, but that may be more trouble than it's worth (sometimes they do jack-all on VHS signals). generally once the video is digitised there's not much that can be done for timebase errors.

I'm playing the tapes on the same camera I recorded them on.
On the attached frames, look at the black edge in the upper right hand corner. I was thinking there was some sort of intelligent detection of this edge and somhow realigning it. |
