Hello Chaps!
I'm trying to convert VHS to hard disk. Been using VirtualDub for capturing, as that seems to be the go-to as far as I can tell.
I have a JVC HR-V715EK, but it only has SCART output.
I can input Composite (from SCART) to my PC - which works, but is rubbish quality as you'd expect.
I can also input S-Video. Much better for transfer, but this is the bit I'm having issues with. See the screenshots below...
In short: Is there a way to make S-Video work properly over SCART, or is it simply a case of acquiring a VHS with S-Video output?
I did notice a post online mentioning something about S-Video having issues with luminance, and therefore bridging pins would help (I tried this, and curiously it does bring the colour to where it should be). But as for the overall jagged picture, I can't really explain this!
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Tom
