Hi all, i recently attempted to capture some VHS tapes and then converting them to dvd.

the problem was that the final product, the dvd, would be fairly average quality with the screen flashing tinges of red and green up now and then.

the initial hardware was a AVerMedia DVD EZMaker Pro USB 2.0. We are about to buy a TBC-1000 and an advc-300.

the setup will prob be lg vhs/dvd combo deck -> tbc-1000 -> advc-300 -> computer.

will this setup do the job? we aren't too fussed on making the quality better, just something that is a reasonably watchable quality, i.e. something that is fairly close to the original quality on the VHS.

does anyone know of any guides floating around that may give suggested settings or tips when using a similar setup as this?

Cheers, Warrick.

I have the advc 100 and receive excellent results. Keep in mind, anytime you go from vhs to dvd the quality is a little lower and may require filtering. Chroma shifting is always a possibility with a vhs capture and may need adjustment. With all that said, I am very happy with my results.
