Hello, I am looking to download a few samples of raw VHS captures eg from an old movie camera etc, preferably some with interlaced content and some without.

I have a JVC VHS-C to DVD box, where the DVD can be separately ripped into a .mpg, however I hope someone here perhaps has a library of raw captures (or .mpgs like that) which I can use to test ?

Vapoursynth R76+ new versions will eventually cause older non API-v4 plugins to cease to work, and I used the venerable CNR2 to denoise chroma.

So ... I am knocking up a roughie script as a CNR2 replacement with "modern" denoising plugins and deinterlacer and perhaps even a deblocker (the JVS introduces terrible blocking) all being done in the right orders. eg bm3dcpu for denoising plane(s), bwdif for optional deinterlacing. It should auto-detect and deal with incoming interlacement and other properties and yield a choice of interlaced or deinterlaced (if the original was interlaced) in the incoming format.

The CNR2 replacement script may end up being crap, but one never knows until one tries.

Thank you in advance. ]]> Restoration hydra3333 https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420576-looking-for-samples-of-raw-VHS-captures-for-testing-a-vapoursynth-script <![CDATA[Panasonic NV‑FS200 - 2 questions]]> https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/420518-Panasonic-NV%E2%80%91FS200-2-questions?goto=newpost Fri, 08 May 2026 17:10:05 GMT Hello guys!

1. This gold roller is very dirt, how to clean it?
2. When pausing I have static noise (lines) at the top of the screen, tracking doesn't help. Any ideas?

Not sure if this is the right spot for this post, but here’s my question. I’ve successfully recapped my es10 with much advisement from our community, thank you all. Now I’m interested in having these most common caps on hand to get similar repairs underway without having to place single orders of random individual caps and waiting for them to arrive. Can anyone point me to a series of kits with common uF and voltage ratings that will be a good start to have available? I thought after I had this setup, if I needed something out of the ordinary, I’d just order 3-5 at that time Ang continue to build the inventory. Any help and thoughts would be appreciated.

Even "professional" software can be suggested to be utilized as I have access to most advanced/professional software.

In the sample clip enclosed, this is from a video of an old 1929 film (which has brightness variation).
