You have to adjust the projector film speed up, if you can, and you have to adjust the camcorder shutter speed down until you don't see brightness flickering in the camcorder picture while the movie is running. The next step was tricky, absolutely necessary but once obtained it gives very good results.Ĩmm projectors run at somewhere 12 to 16 frames per second, whereas DV camcorders (in the US) run at 60 fields per second (or 30 frames per second depending how you want to count).

Next, it seems best to set the DV camcorder to manual exposure to avoid wandering on scene changes. It is well worth it because film is much cleaner and sharper than VHS and it transfers extremely well to DV and later to DVD.

Preferably, if your camcorder has a monitor output, use it on a good TV to achieve said focus. Since that is a fixed setup, one can take time and care to manually frame and focus both the projector and the camcorder to the best possible degree. You must line up the camcorder just below the direct line of sight of the projector to the screen to minimize keystoning or other geometric distortions. My method for capturing my 8mm film movies was to project them on a good screen or clean white wall and shoot with a JVC DV camcorder on a tripod. It is not perfect but it is way ahead of anything else in the range. Upscope: You definitely did the right thing with the Canopus 300, and I had the same reaction as you after I got mine: Why didn't I get it sooner and avoid all the pain and suffering.
How did you go about doing that? That's also another project I have. You mentioned successfully transferring your collection of 8 mm movies to DV and DVD. What an early responder said about ".anything costing less than $180 - $200 isn't worth having." is so true. I would have save a lot of money and frustration. Wish I had done that right from the git-go. I did finally end up getting a Canopus ADVC-300 and just love it.
Success and enjoy your transfers to the hilt ! In the process, I have used Videowave 7 and now I use Videowave 9, mostly, for editing, titling, sound effects, you name it, as the creative juices allow. Such problems included poor audio/video sync, stutters, stammers, frame drops due to not optimum VHS tapes.you name it.īecause of such good performance, stability and picture quality of the ADVC-100 I have not only transferred successfully all my collection of 8mm movies to DV and DVD (yep! that far) and now I am finishing transferring my daughter's collection of VHS tapes. I got it, and all the previous problems with Dazzle and other cheaper devices went away. I followed the advice in a similar situation which said: " Get a Canopus ADVC-100 and you will never regret it". It works, so I haven't had a need to spend additional money on another capture device. It's a couple years old, but it works with EMC 9 and it uses USB. Would really appreciate any input you might be willing to share. Maybe I'm just chasing my tail and the video I've been capturing with the Dazzle Fusion is the best I can expect. I've also looked at some other devices: ADS Tech Video Xpress, DVD Xpress DX2, and a firewire Canopus ADVC-110. I've also experienced loss of audio synch (I guess that's probably not related to the capture device). They both do capture the video although I would like to get a little better quality if I could. CameraMate, both of which accept S-video input and provide USB output. Currently I have two capture devices, a Dazzle Fusion and a Zio Corp. I have a JVC Super VHS VCR that I will be using with an S-video output. I am going to be converting a collection of VHS tapes to digital. Is there any difference in video quality between the various capture devices? I hadn't found it before but would give the DataVideo DAC-100 a look-see.

From the horror stories of poor capture and software problems with various capture cards I almost gave up on doing VCR to DVD transfer until I read about and purchased the ADVC-110. Now I just need to master the Video editing techniques in EMC. You don't have to deal with putting audio through your computer sound card which seems to create a large portion of the problems. I didn't want the problems that I read about of dropped frames and audio sync and so far there has been no trace of any problem. Of course you must have a six pin Firewire port on your computer or you will need the optional power supply. A few phono plug cables was all that was necessary to add. Within 20 minutes of opening the box I was able to record off the air (using the VCR tuner) and record VCR tape onto my hard drive. I just started to use the ADVC-110 but I am totally impressed with how easy and well it worked.
